Need help selecting new color for car

Ok guys, It's that time of year again, Need to repaint the Camaro.

I painted it awhile ago and it got trashed.

So I want to do a Bumble bee paint job, I need a bright yellow. But I dont know what to choose. I used a pretty good yellow last time but not bright enough for me I dont think.

Heres a pic of last year. Let me know what you can come up with i looked for awhile but couldnt find anything.

Definitely not the lime green. The blood red will look REALLY nice. If not that, the orange looks nice too.

Do Lamborghini Verde Ithaca and make people's heads snap when you drive by!





This guy started his in that color, but he either never finished, or he's never updated. It's a shame, because it's the most beautiful custom paint job I've seen.
