You mentioned orange peel. Is it not the original paint job that's on it now? If not, I would definitely go for the blue. Most 4-eye cars I see are either red, white or black. Very rarely do I see anyone attempting a different color. Making a color look great on 4-eyes is tricky.

That's what I've been noticing also. And no it's not the original paint job. It was originally Jalapeno Red and it doesn't really match the original color. I do like red on these cars but want something a little more unique. I probably will go to the body shop and get some examples to test. Heck I might go with something crazy if I think it will look good. I'm not totally adverse to painting the trim either. If it wasn't a 4eye I def would paint the trim.

I have seen some dark gray metallics that look pretty bad***. There's an 86 notch floating around on some forums that looks totally killer in gray.

You have to find that perfect shade. Silver and Gray will always tempt me, but I'm more of a Blue and Green kinda guy

The likes are appreciated...thanks guys! But more importantly if it helped out A5literMan then cool!

@A5literMan if you find a paint chip color you like let me know, I'll do my best to match the color digitally, or as close as I can.
