Candy apple red or magnetic red - any really deep metallic red that will stop folks in their tracks - I get so many compliments on mine! I love my Mag Red II!

Also, gotta have a high quality silver.

Oh, one more for me - a really bright, deep, metallic blue. Not too light, but not too dark. Cobalt blue would be close.

Do this, and I will have a heck of a time choosing between these three colors on my new C6!

Flat black with radar absorbing body panels, grey wheels and tint. Make it subtle and make it look mean.

Hate to break it to ya, but that's just not gonna happen from the factory. Besides, radar isn't really absorbed, it's deflected. If there was such a thing as "radar absorbing" materials, wouldn't you assume that the military would have made their stealth bomber from such materials? The angles are meant to reflect.
I know this is off topic but actually there is a such thing as radar absorbing paint. Its called RAM and it is on both the F-117 and B-2. They way it works is the paint is chrystalised with a dielectric that takes the Electro Magnetic energy and scatters it withen the chrystaline structure of the paint. This helps reduce the overall energy that needs to get diflected by about 25 to 30 percent.

Its not completely absorbing but it is enough to help reduce the reflection from small objects off the plane.

This is one of the most GM-helpful threads in this section. Direct customer feedback, which shows significant potential customer desires on the paint colors. Look at the overwhelming majority that voted for orange! I know for a fact that GM employees surf this site daily, and I can guarantee you that they've seen this thread. The number of votes, admittedly, doesn't represent a large enough portion of the consumer market to base paint colors on what this poll shows, but it is a large hint to GM that a good orange would be great.

My vote is for ORANGE!

An orange coupe, lowered to the pavement, with chromies and the darkest tints possible would be gorgeous and menacing all in one.
