Default Please help what color??

I have to decide on my paint in about a week and am really torn on what to do. I watched the rerun on the "sick fish" on Rogan's Cuda lastnight and I think that is the way to go. I was originally going to paint my 67 convert Viper red with the black nose stripe. (it has the black top)
Everyone has a red convert though right??

The cuda is a '04 Nissan color called Sporty Silver. Has anyone else seen a cool silver?

My wife drives an '02 Acura 3.2 TL and it's silver. I really like how bright it is and how it has the tiny metallic flakes...a very clean, bright, and classy color...a lot like the Mercedes color Jody was going to use. The Mule's color (Audi's Light Silver Met) is also very nice but a little darker than the before mentioned colors.

I know you wanted Silver, but Nissan has a charcoal color on their Altimas that is pretty sweet, in the sunlight it just screems. I will probably use that color for striping on mine.

The color is called Smoke

Thanks for all the ideas. I do think I am going to do the silver.
Now the big question I guess is what silver! I was going to do the black bumblebee stripe accross the nose and I have the SS hood with the chrome 68 69 louvers. I think chrome looks nice on a silver car. I think my Budnik fontanas would look great with a lighter shade of silver.
You guys agree?
