Color change suggestions

The car is going to the paint shop on Wednesday for a new paint job. I am doing a color change. My first thought is Silver...the same color as the new Lexus IS350. Any suggestion on a cool color? Here she is now...

If you are doing a FULL paint job, jambs and underhood and engine bay and all that, I'd go for a CYM look. For some reason, FDs just look great in that color.
Silver? Looks like you HAD a silver one.
When I repaint my Montego Blue Mica, I plan on either sticking with it or going to one of the DuPont CHROMALLUSION color-shifting colors. LOVE the 'soap-bubble' effect...lol!
I've never seen a more beautiful car than what RX7JOCK had.....

Okay, that's just silly. Honestly though, I'm only saying that because that's what I want to do. There is only one real con about having a black car. And no, it isn't because it's harder to keep clean. It's because when you pull up next to another clean black car, you can't see your car's reflection as well. I love being able to stare at my car's reflection when I pull up next to a clean, glossy black car. Just a thought. Do whatever makes you happy bro.

Silver is a great overall color, easy to keep clean, blends into traffic real well so you don't stand out like a sore thumb.

For some reason I have always liked the color Galapagos ( I think that's how it's spelled)

I know it's a civic but this the color I am talking about

if you are going to have it done, have it done right: Engine bay, trunk, and underbody.

Just my two cents.

50% to 60% of the engine bay will be done. The rear hatch area and inside the doors will be done. I may do the underbody at some point myself....

I have a montego that's going to the paintshop as well. I'm about 99% on ferrari "tour de france blue metallic". I didn't want to stray too far from the original color.
