The color is great. I never thought I'd like a purple car. That orange one was good too.

I don't think thats "orange" in fact it looks like the same colour as my 67 'cuda (first car, never should have sold it!)
I'm going with the original paint on the ratster, but I like some of the metallics I've seen. Kinda looks like a bunch of jelly beans when you see a group shot...verry cool!
Orange ??

I'm going to steal a 350Z color as well. I think Im going to paint my car the Silverstone Grey metalic with a pair of racing stripes. The problem is finding the $$$ to do it.

I have a confession SLOroadster.... the Lemans wasnt my first choice the Silver was. But I opted for this and was surprised how nice it turned out.
Side note I only paid for the paint. I trade favors with a friend of mine so the risk wasnt that high if i didnt like. course the paint and clear coat was $ 600.00 plus the Bottle of Vodka for the guy who shot it

Hey Millertime: I must confess that the color on your roadster (the orange/copper/something!) really has me thinking about mine.....I am in the priming last steps, and dont know if I want to go for the original color I have (white) or to go for something else......I won't do your color out of deference to your choice, but man, I wouldn't hesitate if the color was not "taken"!!! It is so far my favorite Roadster image !!!
Great job!
