Can't pick a color.

Every freaking day I come up with another new color that I want to paint my 83. Its brown right now and the paint is horrible, so its time to paint. Eventually I want to make the car a wide body but for now I'm aiming for something like this...

I love those flairs.

So for colors here are my top picks:
Cyber Gray metallic (corvette color) like in the pic above w/ black trim
Jetstream blue metallic tint coat (like the new vette ZR1)
candy apple red with black trim
cranberry metallic with chrome trim
medium/drak blue non-metallic with chrome trim
and my two back markers:
BMW Laguna Seca Blue
Black (i love black but all my other cars are black and I think 1st gens pop with metallics)

So anyway, I know I will have to pull the trigger some day soon and pic a color, guess I'm just looking for input. What do you guys and girls think?

I have always wanted this color, but for some reason it looks better on SA's than FB's:



Enjoy your extra large picture

I like white. It works with any interior color and black wheels look sexy. I'm going to do my 7 in white pearl to match the 8.
