Default Help!! Green or Orange????

I need some opinions please. I am in the process of painting my car. I have a Veil side III kit. I have decided to go with a two tone paint schema. The top is going to be Silvestone I don’t want to have to paint the door jams and engine bay.
The problem is I can’t decide which, color green or orange. I have had the orange before on another car and it is kick a$$. I know it will look good with the Silverstone. I like the green better, but I’m not sure how it would look with the Silverstone. So I thought I would ask for you all opinions. Please help below is the two colors.
Thanks Hershell


Green

Green. Orange looks too much like lemans don't you think? Even if it is different, they're still both orange and getting green would be very original.

That green would look terrible with silverstone IMO. I would not do a neon color with a neutral like gray, it will look washed out and yucky and cheap. Maybe a dark metallic green.

If you really are gonna do one of those colors (not sure why) do the Lemans Sunset for the orange.

What paint code is that? The paint on my probe did not have silver it was white and orange. The orange is made from 5 or 6 different pearls. If you could get me a paint code I would be greatful.

I did see a Aston Martin a few years back that was a powder blue that was cool.

i have yet to see a bright a$$ green Z on the road or in any pics...if you're trying to be original i'd go that route...now that i think about it, i've never seen a bright a$$ orange Z either...if you do go "day-glow" maybe your insurance company can give you a discount lol
