What Color Should I Paint my car???

Hopefully by Spring I will get a cheap paint job. I only want it to last a couple years until this car is a weekend driver. Now keep in mind if I change the color that means more work. How much I don't know, anyone done it?

Keep it red for now. Only change the color when and if you are willing to totally tear the car apart, which in your case would be when you are ready to retire the car from daily service to toy.

Keep it red. IMO it would look better with all the stock IROC-Z stuff.

Yeah, I'm going with red, like Blue502 said, it would be a pain right now to change the color of the door jams and all.
