What Color to Paint!

This is a post about what colors of paints we have. A lot of people ask for pics of certain colors on our cars... So I figured we could use a sticky with everyone posting every color that we all have.

Here are the rules:
1. Post only perfect paint jobs (i.e. brand new or perfect stock low mileage)
2. Post a clear picture so you can see the detail.
3. No at night pictures with light on them.
4. Give us the INFO! The color, the brand, who did it, how long it was gone to whoever you had do it (or if you did it yourself, how long did it take you?)!

Now post your pics!

Not quite perfect, but here's mine. Medium orange metallic, original color, original paint. And that's all she wrote.

I usually use ppg myself, but my friend uses Omni and has put out some nice jobs.
