It's time for new paint! Just need help on color.

I have a 66 coupe and was going to paint it candy apple red, I know there is a ton of them out there but I just think that color looks good on this car. Are there any suggestions for another color of red or possibly a silver that looks good too. Would love to see any pics you guys have.

I used Ford's Redfire Metallic on my 65. It is a current Ford color - 96 to current. It changes to more of a wine color when it starts to get dark or under street lights. I used Nason (DuPont) base/clear coat.

You can see it on my cardomain page, or you can go to your nearest Ford dealer and see it on a new Mustang.

This thread is making my decision harder. I'm supposed to buy paint for the 67 in a couple weeks. I'm staying red, but now I don't know which color to choose.
