Colors like the 'sunburst orange' and colors along those lines are played out. Although they're nice colors, everyone wants to have every car they own that color. I would go with an odd shade of silver or something you dont see so often. My cars being sanding down now and should be primered soon. I plan to go with a 'Orion Silver' with 'Galaxy Grey' stripes...or opposite and 'Galaxy Grey' with 'Orion Silver' stripes...both colors are from HoK's Shimrin Glamour Metallics (BS series) line of automotive paint. I saw the combo on my uncles 05 viper and it was beautiful, although his was two toned. Im not saying you need to spend a fortune on paint, just do something different if you want your car to be noticed.
