Default What color to paint

I'm going to repaint my truck and was trying to get an idea of what to paint it. I was either going to paint it Viper Steel Grey or Sunset Orange Metallic. What other suggestions do you guys have?

Saw that color on a Denali at the dealership the other day. If I hadn't looked so hard to find my yellow truck I might would consider repainting it that color.

Between the two, you have to consider your interior options as well. With the grey you can keep the darker interior and keep it looking nice,as far as orange goes, you would most likely wanna change it to a lighter interior, and I'm sure that's not cheap.

I wanted to paint my truck orange but that fact alone made me change my mind...

I want either one of these colors but I think I'm going to go with VSG.

SOM would look but as mentioned earlier it all depends on your interior color. If the interior color doesn't match well and you're willing to change it, then I say go for it!

I have sunburst or sunset (whatever its called) orange metallic on my truck, and I like it a lot. It changes color somewhat depending on the light. Under parking lot lights it looks kind of copper-ish. For blue I went with the Viper GTS blue pearlcoat. It's a nice blue that really pops, and it goes well with the orange. I was considering the WRX blue, but it just didn't jive with the orange.

The new GM color that the others speak of is beautiful too, but I think it would only look good by itself.

My truck paint is starting to show some signs of wear, when it comes that time, I've decided on House of Color Blue Blood Red with a ghost tribal flame from the fender across the hood to the other fender.
