car is getting painted in less than two weeks and i've yet to order the paint. i'm completely confused by the whole picking a color thing, i feel like i'm about to name a child or something. i've narrowed it down to either black (the color it is now) or blue..

if i paint my car black i want to add a pearl/metallic into the paint to make it different, i just have NO idea what kind of pearl/metallic will look like in black paint... i don't want the pearl or flake to make the car look anything other than black. i'm not all about putting white pearl into black paint and having a gray car. i think a black/charcoal colored flake would look good but i'm really not sure.

as far as blue goes, sonic blue is sick with black wheels (i have black wheels on my car and wasn't planning on changing them) thing is EVERYONE that paints their car blue paints it sonic blue or something close to that. i've been looking into the subaru sti blue or the new chevy blue but i'm just not sure how it would look on a fox.

anyone have any pics of there black/blue cars or any idea what a pearl/metallic would look like in my black paint?
