One vote for orange. The only thing that kept me from going orange is the blue headliner. So I picked out a Lexus blue thats got alot of metal flake and pearl in it. And seeing as its a metalic color I couldnt get it in an acrylic enamal. So it was more expensive with the clear and hardener and everthing else. Thats an advantage to keep in mind if you have a tight budget. Ecrylic enamel is a single stage paint that needs no clear coat. Good luck with what ever color you choose.

Husker, I know what you mean. I watched the show about the escalade. That paint job is sweet. A little much for my taste, but that guy is awesome!
