That was my thought two years ago...Painting it Orange Candy Metallic (Prototype color on a Grand Prix and Grand Am from PPG). Hence the photo below and the study into the paint formula (which I have now). However, after consideration I didn't think I could stomach that color for the next 5 years - So I tossed it.




That's somewhat the color I had in mind. Perhaps a few shades duller so as not to be blinding. Brighter colors are just my thing, but then again I'm the biggest sucker for black/carbon fibre.

There is about an 1/4" layer of body filler dust from the shop on it that I tried to blow off before the pictures. I consider that "Dirty".

No, I don't know YOU. I know of your presence and habits, via the crossfired threads involving CEG/FCO. Of course, that's past (I hope) and I've no intention of refiring such a situation. Whether or not that actually does happen is a choice placed entirely in your hands and in your hands only.

Again, I'll reiterate that I'd like to now let this be or at the very least take it to PMs. I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you because I'm not a huge fan of the new color on your car. It is, afterall, your car and you are free to do with it what you will. There's clearly many others on here that do like it, as evidenced from the 80+ replies. Let's not get so bent about one or two guys opinions, shall we?
