Default cant decide which paint color

ok, i have a deal on two colors and i cant decide. I need to because i can paint the car within 2 days, almost done with all the body work. The two choices are

1. prowler orange
http://images.search.yahoo.com...1,170

2. jet black

by the way i have a c-west kit, and its milano red right now with primer marks from where i worked the dents out today. THe kit was put back together after the teg it was on smashed another car and i did the fiberglass work to fit it to my car. Ill post pics when she is finished. your opinion is appreciated because i like both and cant decide.

if you go black your body work has to be top notch. black is the worst color to paint a car because it will show every flaw,ripple,dent,anything on the body. i personally(just my opinion)would go with the orange. lighter colors are more forgiving when it comes to bodywork and paint. but if your body man and yourself are good, nothing looks better tha wet balck in the sun.

black is so tempting, but what im worried bout with the orange is i dont want it to be to bright, i like the more suttle approach so im takin a chance with a rust orange on top on a milano red coat.

I just got mine out of the shop after being painted orange. I was afraid it was going to be to bright but I went with a custom color that looks slightly burnt. It turned out real sweet. I can get you pics friday if you want to see what it looks like. Sent me a pm if interested.
