Default Need help picking a paint color

Here is what I'm looking at. I will keep the frame black and my favorites are listed in order below.

Here is the truck.




Option 1:

Cyber Gray Metallic




Option 2:
Lavagrau




Option 3:
Spies Hecker FP 2002



I have a very nice downdraft booth to shoot this thing in, but black always worries me because the smallest bit of **** that could get in the paint it will in the end ruin that part of the paint. With a metallic it will hide any imperfections at least the smallest ones.

"Lavagrau", black is a badass look but then again it's just too plain. The lavagray isn't too loud but has character.

the cyber grey is sick. if you get a grey color about that darkness(not too light) with a lot of metallic in it, it really pops and is different vs. blacks, blues, reds etc.

Yeah I did that so people didn't have to go search to find out what the hell it meant... I called the porsche place and was corrected by some coffee sipping nancy that worked at the service department. just like he corrected me on the word "Porsche".... I just wanted the damn paint code LOL..

Cyber grey fo sho! Man it's hard to beat how it looks all shined up and that metallic blings! I am very partial to grey it was hard choice for me. It was like trying to decide if I liked the left or right boob bc I like em both haha
Either way it's going to look awesome
