Color Recomendations

I know, I know.....I hate these threads too, but I am thinking about changing the color of my car. The car is a 1982 911sc with different bumpers (pictured). My car now has black interior and a silver roll bar. Since those pictures were taken the car has been lowered to less than euro ride height. This car is about 90% track and 10% street so I was thinking of some colors that are a little more outrageous and easy to match (just in case I wad the car up). I don't want to keep it black and it does not have to be a stock color. I was thinking about blood orange but without the long hood or duck tail I am not sure...
Recommendations please...

Orange is always fun:



As for touch ups, I actually use Allis Chalmers farm equipment paint. Almost a perfect match...

My brother just did his in speed yellow, which is single stage, easy to hide any problem areas, goes well with black?

BTW whos fiberglass did you use? did it fit well?

Mike,
Gorgeous car and Orange is the way I am leaning. Thank you for the photo I couldn't figure out what it would look like without the duck or long hood.

Craig,
I thought about speed yellow but my Dad has a car in that color and I don't want to match him.
I bought the fiberglass in that photo used and do not know who made them. Sorry. Thanks for the photo.

I saw a thread recently where a guy had a 911 that they called "lawn chair green" Never seen it before- nice color but would definitely catch attention as well.
