Default Another what Color should i paint my car thread...PLEASE HELP

Im in the process of deciding which color i will pait my car....
i'm going to spray it this weekend, and I'm in between a couple of color.
I want something dark for the most part and somthing that will look good with some polished wheels, as well as black wheels.
I have almost made up my mind to paint it jet black because it will always match if I need to panel paint. but im agianst it becuase I have spent weeks in body work and don't feel that a simple black will do the justice I feel i have spent in time.
here are my considerations.... the car has been black and Championship white. I just sprayed a freinds car anthracite, so thats out of the question as well as CW.
current and prior pics...excuse the hood in the current pics


here are the options
Monte Carlo Blue


S200 silver


Super Sonic Blue Pearl


Forest Green


Candy Apple Red....(not into this color so much at all)


feel free to suggest other colors as well

I think forest green would be really different...you don't see too many people going with green, it's usually a gunmetal or an electric blue.

Somebody should chop it that color

Out of those colors I'd pick monte carlo blue. I hate that green even tho everyone on this damn board seems to love that color. But I never liked green, I always hated it. But everyone has there own opinion.

Someone backed into it....
I just haven't ordered a new oen yet.

the black has its advantages and disadvantages. It does show off the body work and I have spent so much time getting it straight. I completly redid all of it since it was white. but there is so much body work into it that in a year or so its going to be so wavy once the body work starts to warp. I want to make it stand out just a tad more, and I feel like i would be mad at myself after all the work to just paint it a boring black, even though it does look really good. Black would be the easiest to spray and match agian, which i know i will have to do having my car so low.
such a hard decision, keep the opinions coming.
I will update the pics when i spray it

Quick question: What front bumper is that in the 2nd pic? The Buddy Clup rear, with Wings West sides looks clearn. Do you have any more pics of the car when it was white and kit'ed?

Thanks!

Candy red is always fine .. but, spraying candy can be a bitch and it is a little bling-bling, so that's really up to you .

The s2000 silver is fine, but the blueish/silver s2000 color is just damn clean in my opinion. It really sets off polished rims and with black rims it would look real trick. Not sure what the color code is, but it's in the books.
