Paint issues won't be worked out until the remodel in a couple of years. I had a machine sliver 09 which looked pretty good...most of the time. Catch the light just right and it looked liked someone painted Tony the Tiger sliver. I now own an A/W and love it, great contrast and really shows off the lines.
There is a nice sliver coupe Z51 package at the dealer I got mine from and in the shade it is killer but in the sun...not so good.
I believe that over all A/w is the best color, I got a crappy paint job, orange peel on all the panels and a nice sag in the drivers door. Very hard to see the o p and the sag only shows from one angle. Any other color and it would be a travesty.
Flip a coin and hope that it comes up the color that you favor at the moment.

Well, after many many thoughts, it's Artic White! Looked at every silver and A/W pic on the color thread. Kept, slightly leaning to A/W - then the wife was pretty strong on A/W vs. silver. So that difficult choice is finally over, ordering carbon flash side skirts today.

From a purely scientific perspective, white is the fastest color in the spectrum, lol. In the US, silver is THE most common colored car. Using multi-dimensional variable analysis, your choice is either fast or common. Yeah, thats it.

Careful...I was ready to buy white but when I went to the dealer I saw a TR one and bought it. Crazy!!!

Get the Arctic White with black wheels and then wear a Star Wars storm trooper outfit and you will get a lot of attention!

Classic look with black or white stripe and but still blends in traffic . White is my choice for my work trucks. Only white new car was a 1984 Firebird which I traded for a Corvette
