What would you consider a Show winning color?
Talking paint jobs on a C6; what would you say "damnd, that's awesome/hot/sweet/cool/etc"?
Please be as specific as possible, with examples even better.
Trying to narrow some options down. Thank you in advance CF peeps

DSOM ... When I was in the market for a new Vette in '06, I originally went out looking for a black or blue Vette, but as soon as I saw the DSOM it just had that 'wow' factor for me. I really like the way it seems to change color depending on the light. I constantly have people coming up to me in parking lots, at shows, etc. saying 'wow, nice Corvette, love that color'.

I really like Torch Red or Victory red but in my search I had to compromise & settle for Crystal Red Metallic. Looks great in the sun.

This Le Mans Blue car won a "Best Paint Job" award at a really big Corvette show in Los Altos, CA.
But Victory Red always seems to draw a crowd in parking lots.

DSOM looks great in the sun. Love black, my C5 was black, pure misery during pollen season, looks like a Steelers-mobile. Victory red is beautiful as well. Currently my car is Lemans Blue, looks a lot darker than that C3 though...

The color of a person's car has nothing to do with maturity, or lack thereof. Great job at insulting every Corvette owner, though, as we all know that all Corvettes are red.
As a side note.....based on your asinine comment, we are all well aware of your level of maturity now.

Black for me. As mentioned, paint corrected, polished, waxed.....then repeat 15 minutes later, but I don't care or mind...nothing beats black.
