need ideas for new paint job.

I have a 91 trans am and I am looking to get it painted very soon. The pic below isnt my car but it is the same color and has the same body kit. I am having a tough time deciding on a color and if I should go with racing strips, pin strips, or any other detail to my car. So if anyone has any pics or ideas I would greatly appreciate it if you post them.

Stay away from racing stripes or other goofy graphics. Just lay down a nice, clean solid color, maybe a metallic. The car would look sick black, but silver and dark blue are other options you don't often see that would be cool.

...and no stripes or other things that were not original on the car. Just a nice clean color and bet you will be happy. Look at the best cars on this board and you will see what I mean. Pontiac and Chevey did a great job designing these cars and there is no need to mess with that.
