If all colors are open....right now, a really hot color is the orange from the new Mazda 6, called Imola Orange Pearl if im' not mistaken, that is a serious color, it ll turn some heads.

one thing to worry about, a bright color like orange, yellow, etc will kill your resale
i heard that any paint will kill your resale, is that true? because not everything on the car will be painted, trunk...etc

if it's done right it won't matter, my car had all the jams hit, the trunk etc. Only thing we didn't get was the engine bay. But that's black so it didn't matter

Silver for sure. Its a color that lots of people like (good for resale), a color the Cl never really came in, and a color that is SOOOOO easy to keep clean and maintain.Originally posted by low slung cl

Silver fades really bad,and it almost always has a haloing effect (unless its factory paint). Otherwise, i love the color.

How about gun metal blue/gray? The new Saab 9.5's have this color and it is distinctive. Otherwise, I'd go for the burnt orange too... thinking of it for my '98 because of the tan interior.

If you order the exact ferrari paint it will be a lot of damn money, but im sure a shop can mix up something similar for a lot less.

it's not that much more, I was gonna do porsche paint and it was only gonna be $200 more, still kicking myself in the ass for not doing it

the paint color I was gonna pick was a $3,000 option on porsche cars
