    need help with body color

    i decided to do the body work on my car today since the weather was decent.The car currently is black with a red bumper.Its a 95 escort lx 2 door.I painted my pro lx rims bronze today but im still stuck on the color of the body i should go with.I first thought flat grey but now im wondering.Im spraying the car myself for my first time with the help of my boss, so i dont want something fancy.Heres a pic of the car and also one of the rim color.

                personal fan of the metallic grey. Flat grey might be okay as long as its not mistaken for primer grey.
                No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

                  I'm with the other 4wd people. Dark metallic gray with those bronze wheels....

                  Well, that's my vote.

                      Yea! Charcoal! EGT bumpers will look nice on it. You should think about smoothing out the EGT front/rear bumpers and doing the Mercury Tracer headlight swap
