A quick search will find you pretty much any color you can think of.

You're gonna hear black, sunset orange metallic, silver, blue and red.

Nothin does it for me like black

I don't see enough white Birds though so white would not be a bad idea either

Just curious what is the original color? Because if you paint it something other than the original color, to have it look really good you're going to have to do door jambs and under the hood stuff, and that can get VERY complicated

I would paint it a color you like since you'll be driving it not us.

Just find something you like and nut up and do it.

My vote is for SOM.... it just looks sick on these cars IMO. My bird is black and I like it...... but it is such a PITA to keep clean... seriously even in the barn with a cover it manages to get dirty..... its never clean for more than a day .
