Help Me Choose a Body Color!

I'm trying to figure out what color to paint my Z28, I'm thinking 1. Hugger Orange, or 2. Jade Green. If anyone has there car painted either of these colors, could you please post some photo's for me? Thanks alot.

I don't have a thirdgen painted this color, but Radar Blue Metallic is one I would like to try. I did body work on a '95 S-10 and it was a real fun color to work with. Its either metallic blue or metallic purple, depending on the angle/lighting.

Here is a Hugger Orange Camaro: http://sethirdgen.org/cgi-bin/reader...user=tonys91rs

I have seen this car in person and the pictures don't do it justice

what manufature makes that paint i have a blue z28 that is going to get a new look and maybe that would be the ticket for me. i was looking at the new orage but i hate to have to shoot every jamb and engine comp. if i stay in the same class i may only have a lilte jamb work to do to make it look good.

Thanks

Its a factory color for the '95 S-10. I used PPG, but I'm sure any paint supplier can mix it. Its really cheap too. I paid $12 a pint.
