    Back to square one on paint choice

    I thought I had settled on a paint color (BMW Azurite Black) until I received a sample of it from Jeff along with a few other similar colors. What looks brilliant in bright sunlight is simply black in most every other light condition. So, I'm back to square one. I love the blue/white color combo (Indigo Ink Pearl is about perfect), but it is just so common. Another blue that I've seen that I like is Huntington Blue Pearl, but again, it may be too black in normal light. I also like the gunmetal colors with black, silver, or white stripes. My wife likes reds, and Jazman's color choice is stunning when it comes to the red color family. I had a 1991 Ford Explorer that was Dark Toreador Red that had some nice metallic in the bronze family that I really liked.

    About the only thing I'm certain of right now is the stripe configuration; two stripes with a pinstripe on the outside of the wider ones.
