What color to paint it?
Im painting my car soon and I'm thinking a gun metal silver, with chrome cobras on the 88 you see below... do you guys know of any other silver colors that look mean? Im trying to keep it dark looking, not too bright of a silver.Any suggestions or pictures?

I just had my notch painted 2006 Cadillac "titanium silver". The paint was very expensive but it looks great on the car especially when the sun hits it. I didnt want a GM color but it was the nicest looking silver I could find, it has alot of pearl in it.

Yeah I like that idea, I might do that! I actually don't wanna stand out TOO much if you catch my drift.. too many Pigs around here that will &*^% with you if you look like you're trying to show off your car.. I know it's stupid but hey they're cops and they are just doing their job of messing with people that didnt do anything but own a fast car...[sm=dontgetit.gif]

Gun metal grey sounds nice. I would get some matcging rims for that color though. Here's the Cobra's I would match up. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-9-...59632717QQrdZ1

i dunno i think chrome 03 cobras would look nice on a gunmetal/black racinf stripe fox.... i think its just rite.... no to much flare but could stand out when u polish it up for shops.... if u do that... its classy.... some cops i know ill bak off if u got a nice looking car and arent tryin to stand out and arent being stupid with it.... get pics up here no matter what u do tho

Ye the cops here like to fuc with people for having fast or flashy cars too. Im trying too tone my ride down a bit to avoid getting pigged. Quiet exhaust, no stickers, no loud bass, and no shiny rims. Its a shame it has to be that way but until they ( the cops) realize that they are supposed to work for us and not against us my car will remain a sleeper!
