What color to paint????

What color to paint my 89 firebird, it has the vented hood, the bumper off of a 91. and the stripes that runs down the middle of each side was taken off, I am going to be selling it so i want it to be appealing to most people and yet i dont want it to look like everybody elses. I am not going black as i am not the best body man, i was thinking a light green, candy apple red, or orange, and then going black on the hood. I need some suggestions and/or opinions.
\

I think a candy blue with white pinstripes!!
it will realy look good on the road!!

I say candy apple. I don't like orange or green firebirds...and also it's good your doing the bodywork yourself...if you weren't, it wouldn't be worth having it painted and trying to sell it unless you took it to Maaco.

Re: What color to paint????

After spending the last few years on an orange KTM motorcycle, I have fallen in love with the color. Go for the orange.

Candy apple, but paint the whole car the same color. I don't get the whole black hood thing.
