Default dark grey EG, what color to paint it w/o jams...

I just got a dark grey EG, I think the color is charcoal grey or something. I'm getting the car painted but not the door jams/engine bay. What would be the best color to get?? I'm trying to stay away from the stock color and get something close to a gunmetal color...throw me some names/pics please.

Keep it the same color or maybe the lexus grey. I'd just save up the extra loot for them to do the whole car.

Why, Dark Grey of course!

Try Phantom Grey Pearl - code is NH-561P .

That way the jams will match.

Yeah I would keep the stock color or something really close to it since you don't want to do the jams.If your car was black then you might be able to paint it a totally different color without the jams looking to bad.For instance I painted my buddies EG Championship White and left his door jams black because he didn't want to spend the extra money or have his car down longer.It dosen't really look that bad because I painted the inside of the fenders and radiator support white also.
