The only way you are going to come up w/ something custom is to come up w/ it your self!!! Enjoy the car

Just something to think about. If you get custom paint there will be some Pr1ck who will key it. I had a crappy 84 s10 with stock paint get keyed so I know there is a jerk out there that would key custom paint. Myself I would just drool over a nice custom car.

Pearlescant colors are always nice. I repainted my gta with a white pearl color and I'm quite fond of it.

i think your best bet is to just pick out an uncommon color that you like. the orange copper metallic that's on newer dodge dakotas is pretty sweet, and i doubt there's many third gen's driving around with that color.
