What color to paint my car?

K ive been looking at a 92 bird that needs paint really bad to buy. Ive thinking either black or Chrysler Platinum, or a darker version of Chrysler Platinum( just looked at that color again in the day light not as dark as I want.)

humm maybe, Im open to other idea and if any of you have a 92 firebird in black that you could show me that would be helpfull. I found a place to do it, its gona be 700 something to do it and it will be 5 base coats 2 clear and it will be a 10 year warranty.

Platinum is pretty nice.. almost too nice..

If you've got a garage to park your car in, or at least a car cover.. you're all set..

However, if you're gonna be parking this car on the street each night, you might want to get a paint job that isn't so eye-catching for car-jackers or vandals..
