Hate to disagree but after spending months talking to body shops about my project they all say the same thing, black is the hardest colour to paint because it shows ALL the problems with the body. A really "deep" looking black is awesome though. All the cars and trucks I have owned have been black.

Although I really love dark blue
- with your interior color I'd be painting it Mahogany. Theres one running around town here that I've only seen a couple times - but man is it sharp !

When I was a little kid I thought all Corvettes were red. So I always wanted a red Vette growing up. So my vote would be red. My Vette is ’01 Chevy red with an extra shot of flake

yeah i like the oranges. But I had a camaro that I did in prowler orange. I got sick of looking at it after a few months.
I think I'm going to go with all black and do the strips on the hood in a dark red.
or all white with dark red. I want black but I know if i do it black i will not be able to drive it this summer. cuz i will be blocking primmer. lol
So as of now i think I'm leaning to white.
