Default What Color should I paint my Z?

Well I got some new bumpers same style and made some fiberglass fenders. Basically most the the car needs to be painted but WHAT COLOR? It is Daytona Blue now. I was leaning towards a Sliver w/ Blue mixed in like a bliush silver. I was even thiunking about adding some ghost flames I dont know. Give me some ideas. Here is a pic now.

There is a rare color ( I've only seen one) BMW has. I saw it on an M3 and it looked amazing. It's called "rain", it's a silver with almost a hint of blue mixed in. You can probably find a sample of it at your local paint shop.

The Infiniti color you are thinking about is probably the Athens Blue

I've thought about pearl/silver ghost flames for my PPW. I've seen it on other cars at shows (domestics and classics), and I thought it looked very classy and subtle.

Yes I want to be able to see just the ends and make it blend so it doesnt look like a hot rod. I was thinking silver with a whiote pearl and tint it blue with Daytona Blue. See I wont even know what color it will be until I spray it. Thats the tough part. Then I can airbrush some ghost flames. ?? I dont know so many ideas.

Those colors look cool but a little too different for me. Im looking for something subtle but I want the paint to be a metallic. Thanks for suggestions thus far.

if your looking for subtle, silver with a blue pearl would look nice.
