Question Repainting car in next couple weeks...need some ideas

Im going to be repainting my car here sometime in the next couple of weeks and i was wondering what color yall thought i should get it painted. Now i dont want something too flashy but i want it to look good. My car is currently silver and i really do like it, i dont see too many silver firebirds around here and people seem to think that it looks good on my car. I was thinking about going with a sunburst orange or something like that (i think thats what its called, it has a mix of red and orange) or some bronze-orange color or some exotic blue color or something. I dont really want to spend that much on paint though so if its going to cost that much more to get a custom color like that then im going to stick with silver or go with a better looking silver color (i love silver on firebirds) and i dont want black or any green looking color.

I saw a trans am on here once that was painted that orange-red color. Is that a stock color and if it is would it cost the same amount to get that paint as it would to get the stock silver paint? Anybody have any other ideas?

how much more would it cost to do a complete repaint of my car in the sunset orange instead of just getting it repainted silver? IM not looking at spending much more than 2000-2500 dollars on a paint job.
