Why would you want to be like an EVO? Why don't you make up a color that YOU want...Not something that everyone thinks looks cool...

As far as blues go I really like Daytona Blue (but I know somebody else on the forum already has that custom paint done). I saw a Yellow with kind of like a orange hue (couldn't really tell since it was dark out) in Orlando tonight that was pretty nice as well.

do you want an original color? or do you want a color someone has? or simply go with a color you like.

I can tell you that purple, green, yellow, daytona blue, orange, two-tone (black/silver), marbelized burgundy, custom red have been done.

what is your goal? stealthy and tough, or flashy and loud? have you considered the color of your engine bay? budget?

the paint code for evo blue can be found online using a google search.

lot of research.

good luck and keep us posted

Custom paint............

Make a tour of all the new car showrooms and find
something that makes your socks go up and down!
You could even photoshop a G with whatever color
you like.....LOL

I think this thread was made so he can get IDEAS and to evaluate them and not blindly do what others say... so there is no need for this type of reply...

Ok Cutie........try this on.

Back in the '90s Corvette had a color called Black
Cherry Pearl......it looked black from a distance but
from every angle that light would hit you saw dark
cherry......no one has done this color on a G!

That sounds like a good one. I also like the Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic.
