If I were you, I would go with the marron paint that they put on the 2001 Impala's. My friend has an impala, and it shines up awesome....good luck

This was my 81 Trans Am. It was originally black, but for the respray I went with 1992 Acura Casis Red Pearl. It's called red but it was maroon, and it looked 100X better in person than in the pic.

It was called Victory Red in 1987, but I think it went by different names in other years.
