You can get a boxster custom paint matched for less than 4 grand. Why not a vette.

Just think....we each could have a truly unique, one-of-a-kind, custom color Corvette. What a marketing tool for Corvette. Well...maybe someday?

Spiral Gray - then I wouldn't have such a hard time trying to decide on a color for my new order coming up.... and my current car could have a twin!

I just saw a 2007 Solstice in a dark, metallic green. Beautiful color! GM has the colors, I just wish they'd offer some of them for the Corvette.

Metallic black like Porsche uses. it would look awsome and wouldn't show swirl marks or scratches as bad as flat black.

A pearl white would be nice.

Metallics are great.
