Rick, I would stay away from the Chameleon paint job. It was a hot paint job back in the late 90's but it doesn't look right on luxury cars. What seems to be the "in" thing right now at the shows are 1) Platinum Silver 2) Graphite 3) Deep blues 4) shades of Orange like what Airtrakk did to his GS)

This Audi TT one several trophies at the DUB show last year. I just love the look of his paint job....
I agree that silvers, grays, and graphite colors are quite popular now....but I don't know why: they seem really conservative, especially for show cars, and look dull and boring to me. You see a lot of it inside, too...brushed aluminum trim. I guess the "metallic" look....which generally revolves around silver and gray......just appeals to a lot of people now. I guess I'm just not one of them.

Default ok

so whats your daily driver gonna be, no way a Chameleon paint job is gonna hold up in the dd grind. leave that to the 85 monte carlos and the 1994-96 ss impala's. I think seal grey or the dark cherry would be sweet on the gs.

hopefully these pics help...but just to let you know rick....once you go a kandy color....you never go back...all your other paint jobs will seem inferior...atleast thats my opinion...and besides...its worth the money...all the looks youll recieve...and the ladies just love kandy red...=D
