go with orange or a green color or just primer black...ya know for that sleeper look.

i want an orange car...maybe ill paint my truck orange...haha

if u take meticulous car of ur car and wash it a lot black is hott. but other lancers are black...so go with a 'non original lancer' color, like orange/green....pink maybe, ya know whatever floats ur boat.

Iam planning on getting some custom airbrush work done. Nothing big and ricy just some stuff on the front lip. It will be painted on with a bright green and then black added to the clear to darken it and make it not as noticable. They guy doing it is problaby the best custom painter in Southern Ontario. He does a lot of custom show cars and bikes. Not going on the stock body though. It will be on the body kit.

I'd check out stock colors on other cars. That way if you get in an accident or need to do touch up, ordering more paint that's the correct color isnt an issue. If you like orange, go with the crazy mazdaspeed orange or a burnt orange like the 350z.

Its really hard to see but this is a camilian paint that is blue to green. It was at the June 13th meet if you were there. I would call him and just ask him to email you pictures or something. 519-925-9703 the place is called Paint Werx. and ask for Derek Young.
