Picking a colour is tough! Must be 30,000 in the sample books!

There are tons of red Vipers and while I like silver if you have the chance and the means to get a custom color, get something unique.

I have been screwing around with the Ferrari configuration site and the historic colors that they offer might be close to something you like.
Looking at that picture is like look at a spectrum.

I am with Green.....are those car color sample books? I have been thinking of going to a number of the high end dealerships to get paint ideas.

They'll accept any paint code or color name from other manufactures. I was going to go with Scion "Cement" for an ACR build, but backed out due to other automotive ventures.

They will match to "any color" or atleast 8000 of them.. Not neccisarily exactly. Have a look in my build thread for the discussion about getting prefix to match specific colors.

Which one is the red you are considering? I love a dark red color on almost any vehicle...even the odd SUV I see. Originally Posted by SharpMan

Yes, crazy tough picking a colour. It was a much easier choice when doing a muscle car build.
Grigio Ferro metallic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0EiFBqU0GY is what I'm attempting to go with now for my one of one.

I would put a LOT of thought about the Stryker colors. I want to order a Gen V, and I initially wanted Stryker Purple in the worse way until I found out the following. The Stryker color is a $8900.00 option. That is not the worse part...the worse part is if you ever need paint work it will be impossible to match and or blend into the surrounding paint. Before I get told I am wrong let me add the following. A guy who does amazing work on Vipers just down the street from Roanoke went to where the Vipers are painted. He especially asked how he would go about matching and blending the paint in a car that had Stryker colors. He was told that because the Stryker paint is a 3 layer process it would be impossible to get a perfect match or blend into the surrounding paint...the repair would not match the surrounding paint as it would on other painted cars.
