Default Paint selection ??????????????

I wanted to do my car below with some wild color on the back fascia is there any where to look at some colors online? Body shop said look at cars and pick a paint code but I don't know of any cars painted the colors I may want. Thanks!

Problem is that the color you see on your monitor wouldn't necessarily be what you would be getting.

Several years ago, I went to my local body shop, owned by a friend. He had a PPG catalog....THOUSANDS of paint chips, all arranged in blues, reds, whites, etc. I think that would be your best bet. Chuck

Who else should know more about paint than restorers? That was my thought. I found I can go to a Sherwin-Williams and look at the colors there. Thanks guys
