Default VOTE | Cyber Gray Vs JSB

I'm willing to do a paint job on my 09 C6 Z06, and I'm stuck between two colors, Cyber Gray and Jetstream Blue.
I have spyder wheels exactly the same as the one in the cyber gray's picture, same wheel color also.
Personally I am still favoring the cyber gray, but decided to do a vote here on the forum and see how it goes.

If you like gray why bother asking other people's opinion. What if there's more votes for blue? Are you actually going to paint it blue because people on the internet told you they like blue over the gray?

P.S. 1 vote for blue. lol

On a full repaint....choose a color group you like then pick a unique non-GM paint color.

Like this guy did...........

Yeah agree with the above, if your going to do a full repaint on the car I'd do a custom color. Your already gonna be in it for $10k plus in labor so might as well make it unique. Endless options as far as paint goes.

Much love haha, I mean in my opinion wrap is the way to go. Custom Look, not permanent if I ever sell the car, and most people dont know the difference. Plus its fun to see the look on oldheads faces when I tell them I wrapped over a factory Night Race Blue car... sacralige lol

I like both colors, as I said, stuck between these two colors. Just favoring the gray by a bit.

I'd prefer original GM paints.

One thing I like about Kuwait is labor is way too much cheaper than the US. Full paint gonna cost me around $3k.

Cyber Gray though if you're willing to shell out for a color change I would definitely do something different. Some Lamborghini Diablos came in a shade of orange which was just absolutely fantastic. When I repainted my Cyber gray I considered going a couple shades darker. I've seen a kind of off white cream-ish colored car on here that looked awesome.

Why live in a gray world when you can have a colorful one instead? Go for the blue.

WHAT? Your car was night race blue?

You can get the hell out of here with that wrap.

Lol, I kid, but damn you have good taste in colors. As I mentioned on your other thread, I love the green. NRB is probably my favorite OEM C6 color though.

To the OP, between the two, Cyber Gray gets my vote for sure. You mentioned wanting to stick with GM colors, have you considered any of the C7 colors? They have some really beautiful colors that I'd chose over gray or blue. I always thought black rose would look good on a C6.

haha thanks man, I really like NRB too but mine had seen better days and basically needed the whole front clip resprayed because nothing matched anymore. Eventually when I can afford to do it right I'd like to respray it in that color but with a slight tweak (i hate the purple flop so id dial it back a little). We did some sprayouts with it dialed back and it still looked like NRB but it got rid of that dusty look when it flipped purple. I got a bunch of friends in the collision industry and use to do a little painting on the side so always been around it. We spent hours in the booth playing with combos on different stuff back in the day lol

OP I'd say if your between those two and your locked into one or the other, Cyber Grey is the better choice but at the end of the day dont let anyone elses opinion sway you. Both are awesome colors. My cousin had a bas JSB car and that thing looked amazing when it was clean.

My opinion, JSB only looks good on the ZR1 with the chrome rims. I love the Cyber Grey...but why not just wrap it and pick any color? Would be cheaper and it protects the paint.

OMG you wrapped over NRB...that should be illegal. I'll never look at your green car again. Oh the horror of it all!
