Did you see the recent thread of the Z in the Z06 section painted balloon white?

black for sure, matt would be easier to keep looking better I suspect.

I don't know what "balloon" white is but I like the look of a white C6. If you want to do something different have you considered white wheels? I've seen a couple 'Euro' white cars with white wheels and they looked good. Just a thought? Enjoy whatever you end-up with.

Balloon White is a Lambo color. It looks great...I like gloss black with this color but it's your car!

I've had both gloss and matt. I prefer the matt as they look cleaner longer and they would go better with your new paint. Can't wait to see pics.

White is a good call for paint color. You never see a white z06. One guy on the forums did his in white a while back and it looked beautiful. As for wheels I would look into machine silver.

Amit. I walked into Richies collision in Houston one day to pick up a part and I saw yours there being worked on. It was love at first sight and I simply could not get that satin white / carbon fiber combination out of my mind. And on Saturday, I took ownership of the other Balloon white z06 in Houston
