    I like the first one too. The 2nd is ok too, but the orange/copper really pops. Maybe a soft yellow?

    Ok ...this is what I do all the time with customers...Here's how to Pick yer Brain.::: what color do you hate? what color do you like?. Light-medium- dark. Solid -opague?, Metallic,? Pearl (My fav.on fat fenders) candy-ugh...$-time-difficult to blend. Wild-mild?...conservative-Radical? period correct to era (your brand?--others of era?) Dark-light?. By process of elim . you'll narrow it down. Then ther'es always , did you want to match something you saw?

    At the tampa show, I saw a few "root beer" color cars and for some reason, I was REALLY liking them.
    I am picturing root beer with a cream soda roof.

    Now I need an ice cream.....

    I like the dark blue, but the wife wants it to be a light teal. when i see teal i think of all of the cars i saw at the early 90s car shows with tacky graphics on light pastel colors. i am afraid that the teal might look good now but in 10 years it would look dated. wouldnt the blue stand the test of time better?
