need help.

Its time to fix the paint job I had and this time I'm going for show car quality. I have been contemplating over color choice. Stick with same color or ferrari red, go white or pearl white, metallic gray, or chrome. I do like the chrome, but not sure what it would look like on our cars. I plan to have a shop do chrome on the gas door to see how good it would be, but if one of you guys good with photoshop can make my car chrome I would appreciate it.

This is what it looks like now.



This is the type of chrome I like.

please don't do chrome...but i am liking this flat black idea...oooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr you could repaint it something else and get that vinyl wrapped flat black stuff to protect the nice paint. then when you get bored with the flat you peel it off and WHAM! different, brand new color.




just sayin
