Default WHAT COLOR SHOULD I PAINT

I can't decide what color to paint my 89 lx hatch. I was thinking of going with burnt orange or some sort of blue. anyone have any other ideas?

You know whats f'ed up. I took these yesterday after I washed it and about an hour after I took these pictures a hail storm hit San Antonio! I dont live there so I didnt have a garage to drive it in. Luckily it was light at first and I pulled into a gas station, got the last available spot before it started coming down hard! Golf ball size. There were cars driving arfound like chickens without heads. I saw this ricer trying to buy a spot under the port. Thats how bad it was. It jacked some cars up! Luckily not mine.

Thanks Tim.

I got a good deal on the hood, and the grill is just the insert you can get off of eBay.

I think burnt orange would look pretty good and you wouldn't look like every other fox on the road.
