What color should I paint my Lancer?

I am trying to decide what color to paint my OZ rally. I bought the black one 16 months ago and its just too hot in the summer, even with my 5% tint in the back and 25% in the front. I have thought about the EVO blue and white, and my wife likes the silver. Any ideas? Thanks!

I'd personally do it diamond pearl white with a tiny bit of some blue diamond pearl flake in there.

if your actually going to spend the money to repaint it you might as well go with a custom color. the paint might cost a little bit more but application is basically the same.

If you're going with an Evo color do the Blue, if you're doing customs go with some nice red.

Well, the interior is hot cuz the interior is black, but I don't think having a black exterior helps. It also shows every little piece of dirt and paint chip. Its so aggravating when I wash it and then 1 minute later its dirty looking, covered in dust and pollen. at least with another color, it wouldn't be so noticeable. That sunburnt orange sounds nice. Red draws a little too much attention from the cops I think plus I think some insurance companies will charge more for a red car, too sports carish I think. Thanks everyone for your feedback!

Oh, second question is where is a good place to get a custom paint job done at?
