What color to paint car??

Okay I got into an accident and they are going to fix driver side's rear panel to the front because some dumb truck side swapped me. Luckily the decided to give me enough money to paint the whole car since I found a place that would do all the work for cheap. I took them quote with the price for everything and said alright So what color do I paint it? I was thinking something original. I have no apperance mods and the interior is black so anything should go. Which one would you get, cobra grey, electron blue or any other choices? Let me know.

That is what I was thinking. But then again that gunmetal grey that ford has is nice. How about the light blue of this smiley

Yeah, definitely go with something custom or different. Anything but the standard red or black.

I am a big fan of Hugger Orange. But I love that blue or gunmetal might also look nice.

Anything will look nice, there's a million colors out there...just think a little different.

Also, if you want, throw on a body kit or hood, spoiler, before the paint job...since you already have to get the work done.

Right now it is that pewter gold. Everything is going to get painted like it came from the factory. The guy doing it does mainly ricer cars and I have seen great work, just bad color mixes Forest green does sound good, but what is the color of green some older camaros have?
