Default which color?

I've got a lot of dents and scratches on my car and I've decided to repaint it. Every panel except for the roof and rear bumper need body work. I can't decide which color to paint it and I'd like to get your opinions. I'm thinking about painting it the same color (teffeta white), tri stage pearl orange from the Lamborghini (I sprayed a test card of this color and it nearly blinded me in the sun ), or some type of gunmetal. But I'm open to any color. Please post your opinions and color suggestions. By the way painting it the same color will cost me $200 in materials and a color change will be $300 so money isn't really a concern as far as which color I should paint it.


Mods feel free to move this if you like.

I've wanted to paint it gunmetal for a while but it seems like more and more honda enthusiasts are painting there cars this color and I wanted to do someting original.



I also really like the pearl silver on the G35

I'd recommend something with a pearl. I mix a lot of car paint where I work, and blue pearl is getting popular. I'd like to see a White Base coat with some blue pearl and maybe some green pearl with that just to add a little something. But yeah, don't go black...I have a black car and it's uber gay to keep clean.
