FC paint choice

What color should i paint my FC right now its an S4 chasis thats black with 2 red S5 gtu doors, and a white turbo II hood. the colors i am thinking of is Midnight blue, pearl black, or hunter green. if anyone has pics of these colors on FC's or has any good opinions those would be greatly appreicated.

black. jus pick the black u like the best. i feel like color changes never turn out right unless the owner spends 10grand. the only reason to do not do black, is that it doesnt photograph well if u are trying to get in a mag. most mags reject black cars at a high rate. goodluck.

Here ya go.
This is a Midnight Metallic Blue.
Looks pretty nice, esp. at dark, its way sexier looking.

The FC was born to wear black. But it looks good in any color. Pick the color *YOU* like best.

Paint is only a question of taste but I'm thinking of painting mine dark grey and add some red racing seats for contrast.
