Arctic White or Viper Blue!!

I know...I know... I have a problem... but I am on the fence about these two colors. Viper Blue and Arctic White. I will be painting my car in a couple of months and I need a push in one way or the other. I really can't decide!!!

So .. take a look at the two cars I will attach in the next two posts and cast your vote. Which color do you like the best.

I think you should go with a midnight blue! or the color you have now....... that viper blue with silver racing stripes would look sharp if done right! I dont really like white though unless of course a drive a front wheel drive every day toyota or something

Wow! Viper Blue seems to be the landslide winner!

Even guys with white cars are crying out "Viper Blue"!!! hehhehe .. I guess it will be Viper Blue! I will also be doing a silver pearl in the paint, the pearl will be subtle but there nonetheless.

No white stripes though .. IMHO I don't think stripes would look right on a stock hood setup...it works on an aftermarket hood like Blue's but not on mine.

When I get her all painted I will post some pics

I did my 92 25 th Z in viper blue with Gm white racing stripes all the way down on the ground f/x. It has T-tops. I also did the stripe on the roof. Added wheels, tint and a good sounding exhaust. Its a head turner. no one has that combo around my town. everyone knows my car. they like the blue under the lights at night.

FYI.... i believe "viper blue" is properly called by dodge "Bonsai Blue"....i noticed on a bottle of touch up paint in a maro i looked at that it was "GM medium blue metallic/ chrysler bonsai blue". in other words i think viper blue is the same as gm med blue met. oh and i think either bonsai blue with white stripes OR white with blue stripes would look equally sweeeeet.
