I love purple pearl! It's such a random color combo... But as far as new colors are concerned, what about sunset orange metallic (with black headlight pockets and grille of course)? That would look good, imo.

You think THIS color is ugly??

Go with something uncommon, set yourself apart.

my car will be getting repainted this spring. it is already white so the color i'm going with wont' requre me to do the door jambs and all of that, cuz those would only get the white basecoat anyways.. i'm going with cadillacs 'white diamond'. jsut love that color on the escalades!!!

guess that doens't help you much though. are you planning on stripping the car and doing everything or jsut something close to what you have so you only have to do the outside?? i'm sure you know that makes a big difference in price and time.

Black is money, cause you spend $90 bucks on Zaino every month.

Personally I think black looks the meanest, but I like yellow too.

I have had about every color of car and the darker you go the easier they show dirt. my white car can be filty but still look pretty good, but my black jeep looks filthy even after comming right out of the car wash!!

Pick up a copy of GM High Tech Peformence
The ZL1 on the cover is Daytona Yellow

Its the same color they used on 60's Chevelles, El Camino's and Camaros.

You'll really stand out then
