I'll never understand why people ask a question like this. Paint it whatever color you like. Who cares what others like?

If you're not painting it yourself you're not going to get a very good paint job for $2k. My last paint job which was a basic base/clear colorchange cost $7k

Kinda wrong here. Depends who paints it actually.

My dad does autobody and his boss only charges his customers 1-3K (Depending on color) for a full body paint job. No half assing also, they do all the work.

My cousin owns their own autobody shop and charges 2-5K depending on the colors also. They do everything complete and never had any negative feedbacks from their customers. (If you don't believe me, I can show pictures to prove it)

MAACO are the ones for the ugliest paint jobs ever.

TO OP: Paint it **** brown. Lol, pick your own color. It's gonna be your money and choice for the car that you ride in.

You could've Googled that much. And you DID ask what everyone else liked unless "what's your favorite color on an EG?" was supposed to mean something else. I think you just wanted to let everyone know you had 2gs to send on a paint job.
