What color should I paint my car?

I know it's going to be a silver/gray based color. My RS will have a Z-28 hood, that flat black in the headlight sockets, and a Z-28 grill.

1.) Pepper-gray metallic (ie Eleanor in "Gone in 60 Seconds")

2.) That pewter/silver color that came on 4th gens. I'm not sure of the actual name of it. If you know, and happen to have a picture of it, please post.

3.) The silver color that you see on the new Vettes. Once again, I don't know the technical name for it, but if you do, please feel free to enlighten me.

The current color is teal, so no, I won't just repaint it the factory color. And just for some info, I have t-tops and tinted windows as well.

If you have any other recommendations as far as a silver type color, please post it along with a picture. All paint codes are welcome as well.

i think you should go with the gone in 60 seconds eleanor color, but if you do that i think you should get the 5 inch spoiler from hawks and put some black stripes on it, and a different hood, either a jongbloed hood or a ss hood.

If you are going for those silvery colors, you should check out a more Platnium based color. FlynLow89 (at least, I think it was him) has a VERY nice platnium bird.
