Color choice dilema
I have a 85 coupe that i just rebuilt. Had some body damage but not bad at all. I have around a week and a half to choose my color scheme for the exterior. Im a big fan of black cars but in south texas that will be really hot.
So im thinking a Suntset Orange Metallic with black SS or GS stripes.
That or if i go black im getting red SS stripes.
what yall think SOM or black or something else?

SOM gets my vote! 
Think about it though.........July and August in C.C. ..........DAYUM!!!!!!
Even a snow white car gets waaaaay hot in that part of Texas.
Will be down in Robstown In August. If you do go with the SOM......would love to see it.
Went down to Robstown in Feb. for some weekend work (then a few days fishing between Aransas Pass and the ferry boats) and came back home with a really bad sunburn on one of my ears. Guess I missed that ear one day with the sunblock.

Not to throw a wrench in the works, but the Jetstream Blue color on the '08 vette is my new favorite color. I also like the Gallardo Orange.
BTW, grew up in the CC area. Padre Island had the best girls at Spring Break (of course excluding S Padre where the alcohol flowed freely, erasing girls inhibitions).
