What Color Should I Get?

hello, as a lot of you know, my sharkie got runded into the other day. i figured since i was going to have to repaint a panel, i might as well do the whole car WTAIT. i was thinking about paining it slate grey like the new 911TT's but i kind of like having a COLOR on the car, not just grey. But i still want the slate grey. i would color match the wheels to the slate grey as well. do you guys have any ideas on what colors look good on these cars? how about body + wheel color combinations? im fighting with myself because part of me wants a deep color but another part of me wants this color:

Yeah, I'm partial to that gun-metal gray too. My 5 series is that color. If I had the funds I would repaint the 928 in it, but I don't, so I'll be sticking with the original gold when I have my body work done and the passenger fender sprayed.

My car is Slate Gray metallic.....The black or silver looks best I think. Here are a few photo shopped pics someone did of my car to see what black would look like.

You don't need to look for a new place to spend money on a 928. Maybe consider fixing the brakes etc. first, good tires, running good, etc.

Also don't count an insurance check before its cashed.

mine is (before I stripped the paint off) -

Oak Grun

that's Oak Green...... a dark green. Not too many painted that color (I've only seen one other, not that it matters much).

picture was taken on a sort of overcast day, so the color really doesn't come out well in the picture.

im thinking of doing either a slate grey paint job or a meteor grey paint job with color matching wheels and a yellow pinstripe around the lip of the wheel.
