Color Suggestions
I have a white 99 convertible with black top. Waiting on my black C6 Z 06 wheels/tires to get here. Anyways, I'm thinking about painting the car another color besides a stock C5 color. Would like any suggestions or pics of different options. I really like orange, but would like to see other colors.

Go with the C6 color Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic. Beautiful color.

Good advice for the likes of your Z06 down the road on value but I've bought (4) 63 SWC's over the years. My least favored was the one that was stock color. So it's a matter of individual preference. The paint job was on their dime and they were good ones.
If I had another one I would entertain C6 DSOM. Saw a 63 in Old Town Kissimmee event recently done in that paint & it looked dynamite. The best I've ever seen. I don't think that one would hurt at Mecum Auction either. The guy had like 100K in it & it looked 1M. But I get your drift.
