Re: Paint color

imo, i'd go w/ a metallic silver. and maybe a red pin stripe to break it up. silver is almost as clean as white... there's a GM color called quick silver metallic that looks clean even when its been through a dust storm and then rained on!

put the pics in the photochop section and see what they come up with. that last pic would be a good one to see both done up.
