Need help deciding paint color!!

I love UBM and like the way it looks on my car.

However, I'm tempted to go with titanium silver or Sunset Orange Metallic. Everything including interior, trunk space, inside of fender wells and everthign would be painted, except the actual engine compartment.....that's why I'm so hesitant.

However it would help a LOT if someone could provide me with 2 photoshops in the other 2 colors for me.

Thanks in advance.

Trust me get it all painted at once.

My convertible WAS the same blue as yours. However someone took it to maaco and now I have a blue engine bay, a hood chipping blue and it looks REALLY tacky.

My car goes into the shop tomorrow. The engine and tranny are gone, there is no interior, I am having them go over the whole car. I am paying all in all about $2,500 to have them do a complete take down, fix minor body work including one small rust hole (quarter size), and do a complete repaint after taking down the original to original primer. Going with a SS hood, Hi rise spoiler, and probably shaved key holes.

PS I was going to pay $5,000 for the same paint job, however I switched towns and the price for the same paint job dropped. Look around if price is a concern. Look for want, not want not.

I know the guy who's doing my paint/body work The car is coming apart, just leaving the engine in. THe bay looks ok, and I really don't have the space/time to pull everything.

BTW, when you get a chance hook me up w/ a price to have in mind on one of those tonneu covers

Sunset Orange Metalic, if you had a bird I would say the titanium silver. I like the way Sunset Orange Metalic looks on thirdgens, especially a certain one .

I think that combo would look good, but I was looking at your car and noticed it had no door bumpers. Did you remove them yourself?
