Help pick my color!

[IndyNova]

Hey guys, I'm gonna be painting my car this fall, and need some help! Any comments, suggestions, etc are appreciated! Here's my car the way it is now, the base color is nice, but someone has put about 10lbs of metallic flake-the gay kind, that looks like a rainbow trout in the sunlight. It's hiddeous! Really, it is.
Thanks for the help as always, this is a great site!

I voted for jet stream blue but that tone of red looks pretty good. Any consideration of shooting a similar dark red without the pixy dust?

Hadn't really thought about that one. I did see a new Silverado last week that looked black until you got up on it, then it was a dark burgundy color.

That with a semigloss black hood might be the way to go.

Now that's funny, because I know what kind you're talking about. But anyway, I'm a huge fan of blue. I vote blue with 2 thumbs up.

Have you looked at Jet Stream blue in person? I just did a few spray outs of the color last week and it really has a green face (tone) to the color but then flips to the red side on the side tone. Plus most paint company use the speacltiy toners to make that color so it cost more. I thought I really liked it until I sprayed it out now not so much. I do like the color on your car now, many look better with out the bass boat flake??

That car is begging for Cyber Grey with black trim....

But of course --- it's your car and YOU have to be happy with it.


Tell ya what to do --- pay attention to your day dreams and dreaming at night -- what color does the car appear in? Grey or Blue? Your subconscious will be telling you what color you want the car to be. You just have to pay attention.


When you're at a car show - pay attention to what cars you're drawn to. If you walk over or turn your head every time you see something grey or maybe it's the blues --- well --- pay attention to that.

Good advice Greg!

Another option is Carter's Digital Paint Booth? See it and decide.

Thanks for all the advice guys. Greg-I've always envisioned it with cyber grey with black trim and rush forth wheels, but always been a fan of blue...lol. Where can I find Carter's paint booth? I did a search on here, but nothing came up.
