Looking for color suggestions; for the 93 electric

Not even considering the oem white I want soething that will look good with all of that aluminum work under the hood, and will look nice with all of the white batteries under the hood. I have worries about what people might call this thing if it is white and "powered with white" batteries, is powerful, and built by a big white guy... Anyway, white is out, and green is out. I already have two black Metros, and two blue Metros, si it would be nice to go with something new... Any suggestions?

I've always been partial to Charcoal grey. But, wanted to paint my last car in the Chevy Inferno Orange. I think it is a good stand out color.

My go-to answer to "what should I paint this?" is purple, because it's my favorite color. However...

Make it LOUD! We've seen you do black, blue, now another, lighter blue... pick something that SCREAMS!
Most purples do not "scream"... :hmm

I think 94skate is on the right track... I am thinking something in the hot colors of yellows, oranges, and reds. Something that stands out, something loud and bold. Something that you have to be brave to try.

What about that "safety yellow" color?
You know, the yellow that is a little bit green?
Reflective vest color?

There are some pretty insane color chips at my paint suppliers store. They are contoured and about 6"x6", and I can take them outside to look at in the sun. These may help me find something over the top.

I like the burnt orange color you see on some of the newer Fords.

my go to colors used to be corvette yellow with bright red wide stripes outlined with thin black stripes. you could see that from a mile away.

i did a bright blue saab with yellow wheels and a swedish flag, yellow cross on a blue field, on the roof. that rocked.

I recall the 'Big Blaze' project on Spike TV's Trucks. There was also a 'Copperhead' one pictured here. I have also seen local Mitsubishi Eclipse's painted in a burnt orange type color.
