I would go with a different color. I would stay away from gun metal gray, only because I want to paint my car that color and I want to be different and rare!! LOL Black will show any paint/body flaws and scratches. Red will fade unless it is WELL taken care of. GMG is a great looing color on our cars.

I think your car will look good in the Gun Metal Grey. Can we have some pics of your car? I always wanted to see a 91-92 style car with 4th gen spoiler and RA hood.
