    I'm really drawing blanks on this one. I've kicked around a few ideas for colors, but thought I'd see if anyone had any pics of ones they really liked, or just suggestions in general. Just finishing getting the motor in so I was trying to get a few colors to pick from. I'm just having a hard time picturing my car in a different color than worn out grey that's on it.

    Roger Starkey from San Diego just got his done a really cool green. It has a Gold flaked roof... really nice.

    I don't think I'll be doing it that color low49, so no worries. Damn, I am really digging that green color. With or without the flake roof I think it'd be bitchin. Is that blue posted a flat or is it a satin metallic? Here's how the car sits for the time being....

    What's your favorite color? Now add flake.

    Id say go mellow on the body (beige) so the chrome stands out more and flashy on the roof (red flake)

    I'm gonna have to say I personally really like the color of the weesner shoebox. I don't know the details on what color that is.That would have to be what my top pick would be out of all the colors posted so far. But a lot of the other colors look great too.
