    my car is now at the body shop getting started on putting wide body kit on the car. the car is a 2006 lancer evolution. it will be used for racing as well as shows. it needs to be a black paint and a factory color. from any make and model as well as year. i was thinking of pearlesant or metal flake. just need some help finding color options and where better to go then a fish place to get color advice :)

    I say a candy apple red metalflake on top, with the black bottom/ sides.

    Red will attract more police, but that car alone will do that, especially if you have a loud exhaust on it.

    If you want a ore stealthy color, sustitute a silver metallic on top for the red.

    I have had two 5.0 mustangs. One performance red, and one a silver convertible. the silver car never drew attention of the cops like the performance red ( an orangy red color) mustang did.

    The nighthawk black peal on my 2008 Acura TL-S was pretty sweet. At night under certain light it looked like a blueish purple.... almost a navy blue. But in the daylight with a nice wax...it was black as black can be and a beautiful finish. Lots a metal flake in it too
