pictures of custom paint jobs
 
Hi guys, wanted to see you all post pictures of your custom paintjobs. My car is at the paint shop right now and I am having a hard time deciding what color to go with.

Colors I have thought about are Lambo orange metallic, candy apple red, a dark gray metallic, Lambo yellow, or even a flat black.

I wanna see some pics. :D

I would not do yellow, gray, or black because stock C5's got something close to that. Just my $0.02.
The cool thing is that I can see this in person in the future :thumbs:

i cant really seem to find a pearl white other than the kind on the escalade which i think is a little too cream colored

Lexus had a pearl white I believe.. I don't know if they still have it... but I remember it looking really nice...

EDIT:

Here is a pic of one, its hard to tell the real color though, through a picture:

Dark silvers always look classy, especially with polished or chromed rims.

I like the candy apple red. If you go this route, be sure the undercoat is silver, not gold. Gold will give it a very red color, but not have the 'debth' of the silver.

What about this?

I was going to do this but I can't part with my nassau blue. If you're interested, it's white pearl from Lexus.
