Car going in for paint Monday...Need opinions

Well the car is going in to our paint sponsor monday to get a show quality job. Should I stay Factory Sunburst Orange or go a different route? I'm thinking old school Chevelle Blue. I love muscle cars, however don't think it'll work on a tuner. And I will be painting part of the hood to match so it's not all CF!! And interior trim matched as well.

If I had to work with that car I would just leave it orange and paint the hood to match.Is the paint messed up now?If you have the money to spend for a complete paint job I would do white.

ya look closely, the paint on the bumpers are darker, cause it's newer. Also in person you can see some air bubbles. I'm not spending anything on it, it's a sponsor

nice option but a lot of ppl do that. And I want the car to be bright!! cause that's me, bright and out going lol

I don't want something common at all, there's not a lot or orange these days too, but then again the chevelle blue would really be unique and throw it back to a retro look, and old heritage call out to the chevy muscle cars

Sassy grass green was another option like the factory Hemi cuda, but then again I think it would look a little too rice maybe?? but I do like that color

I'm thinking about factory color still, with maybe a graphic going down the side. Keep in mind it's going to be much better that a factory job. A **** load of clear and color sanding

I think you should stick with Sunburst Orange Metallic. As for the graphic you were talkin about.. I dunno about graphics, not a big fan, but if you decide on one, don't make it to over the top.

Go with the sunburst orange metallic and have your roll call down the fender ghosted into the paint (think ghost flames) instead of putting decals on your fender...

Staying orange would be nice and all, but you'd certainly be a one of a kind SS/SC if you painted it that old school Chevelle blue. However, ALOT more money involved with the different color should you choose to go that route.
