Default help, red or blue

I need some different appionions, I have a lamans blue coupe which I will be having painted very soon, the only thing thats the hold up is Im torn between going back blue or torch red. Im not that crazy about the blue but Im not set against it but I had a 77" that I had painted torch red and.... well it just looked damn good. So let me know your thoughts some pics may help too. If I go blue I might put a white stripe on the L88 hood

LeMans blue is tough to beat. And while I know ALL Corvettes are Red, aren't there enough of them, already? Stay blue. :chevy

I love red Vettes and if someone wants to make theirs red too then, hey, it's your ride. But I appreciate the variety too. If all Corvettes really were red, that would be a bit boring, right? I think the blues and greens are classy. Do what you want, man. There are a lot of excellent choices out there. :chevy

Go Big Blue!!,...the red corvette seems too numerous and it seems that over the years tends to fade out more,...of course my comments here r a bit colored by the fact that my '72 is a Targa Blue!!! But in the end do what works for you as it's your nickel!!! :chevy Save The Wave!!! :cheers:
