Keep in mind that the Sunburst Orange Metallic Cobalt SS/SC's are a little harder to come by than some of the other colors out there...I'd say they are either the rarest or a close second to yellow...

I would stick with the Orange, but throw in some translucent metal flake..and maybe a coat of house of kolor pearl..
The bad part about completely changing the color of a vehicle is that if you get any rock chips and your "true colors" and shown.. unless you have the car stripped and bead blasted inside and out on a rotisserie..

Are you implying yellow SS/SC's are rare??? Out here, every 1 in 2 Cobalts is yellow, lol. Rarest color for an SS/SC is w/o a doubt Sport Tint Red.

Even rarer than that though, is that Ameythyst Metallic color (purpleish) 2.4SS......only ONE member I can even think of on here who has one....his username is WunSick.

I've only ever seen 1 yellow SS/SC in person and I only know of 3 (including mine) Sunburst Orange Metallic SS/SC's in my area. I meant to put in there that I was talking about the 2006's. Now that you mention it though I've only ever seen maybe 2 Sport Tint Coat Red SS/SC's in person...

Wow.....I guess it varies area to area. Out here, I could get a handful of rocks and throw it in a random direction and hit a red, yellow and black Cobalt.

I'd say, out here at least, black SS/SC's are the most common, followed by Victory Red, then Rally Yellow.
