No problem. I'm sure I'll be ridiculed for this but I've always thought a nice deep metallic purple with gold graphics would look sharp as well.

Yeah I know, another wrench thrown into the works...

I vote for the new C6 color atomic orange (PPG paint code 83U).  That color just ROCKS!

Just goole atomic orange and you'll see why.

If I end up keeping my 1972 Corvette, Atomic Orange is the color it will be.  With black Baldwin Motion stripes...  Mmmmm...
