Help zeta pick a color for his new model car

zetableh · 02-01-2006, 12:56 AM

I need help picking the paint color for my new model, a 2005 Corvette C6. Picture below.

And now comes the hard part, the paint. I'm using Cobra Colors again, but this time instead of their Fire Pearls, I'll be using some of their factory colors, specifically from Lamborghini, as they have some deep tricoats. So please, tell me which color you wish you could have your Corvette in, and then see how it looks in scale, as the winner will have a strong influence in my decision. Yes, some of the colors look similar, but they're different. No, I don't know how they are either, but the site says so. And that's all I need to know.

Arancio Atlas Pearl

Blu Monterey Metallic

Arancio Borealis Pearl

I would say that you should go with Blu Monterey Metallic. I think a nice candy apple red would be sweet. I have no idea what color this is but I love it. The car is a Saleen S7 I saw in Carmel a couple of years ago. The color is so vibrant with the orange highlights in person. The picture doens't do it justice.

Go with the first choice. On the C&D forums, VetteZO6 has a similar colored Corvette in his signature and it looks good.

Those are some very hot colour. Orange ir kind of cool and so is blue but I would go with a black one with red calipers.

I'm with Porsche Guy and his fiery red type colour. When I saw the 'Vette, I immediately thought 'red'. I must be thinking of those press photos with the sunset and all.

Otherwise.. the blue? The orange colour is probably too 'Lamborghini' to really suit the 'Vette that much.
