As black as you can get. Deepest black with tons of clearcoat. Then tint all of you're exterior lights, OR get the JDM clear ones w/ yellow bulb. Make it demonic~

My last black vert got nailed pretty hard by hail damage in the early 90's The autobody shop surprised me by adding a small amount of gold and silver metal flake to the black paint they used. After it cured and was wetsanded, it looked %^&*()_)(*&^%&*()(*& awesome.

I have always been a sucker for a dark colored car so i would say black. I would be curious to see how it looks with the pearl over it.
