My opinion - if you like the color then go for it. You are the only one that needs to be satisfied with it. I am HORRIBLE when it comes to colors and visualizing what a specific thing would look like.

Just got done painting a room for the wife at the new home and I brought her in about 4 times and said to her, "Are you absolutely sure this ugly azz color is what you want this room to look like. Please tell me so I do not have to waste my time doing the whole thing only to have you say you don't like it." She kept saying that she liked it and I thougth it looked like crap. Until of course I was completely done and gave it the second coat - then it all came together and looks really good, even to me. She just laughs at me and said see - trust me.

So if I ever paint my car...I will probably just tell her to pick a color - maybe I am color blind or something. but I never have a hard time seeing those orange deer during hunting season!

Go for the color if it is what you like. I think it will look good. But I am fond of white myself. Always looks clean, even with rubber all over it after a long day of racing.
thanks jesse,

the car is coming along pretty good now that i have time. i pulled the motor and the trans back out of it for paint , so ill get back with you on that trans deal pretty soon
