    I'm stuck on what color to paint my car and would like your thoughts

    Looking for input on what color to paint my car. The car is a daily driver but set up for the track and with an uncorked V8, large flairs and large nickle 5 spoke wheels there is nothing subtle about it. Right now it is black with copper bronze stripes. These shots are with the old wheels and no flares.





    These are the new wheels.


    I have narrowed it down to 3 color options.

    1 Matte Black with semi gloss stripes. Like this but not so shiny of stripes

    The stripe contrast would be more like this



    2 Sun burnt copper pearl with pearl white stripes. Sorry no good examples here but this is the color.




    That copper color might look better with a ghost stripe or maybe silver or off white rather than such a bright white as that pearl.

    3 Dark blue with silver stripes.




    or darker a blue



    I love them all but they are all so different. Matte black would be wicked, burnt copper crazy different and blue sort of normal. So what do you think?
