well, and this subject has recently been discussed, would be really expensive to get it done right. I think the candy orange, or a burnt orange, something like the current Ford Edge would be a great color. if you have the means to do it then go for it, it'dd be cool. The only issue I ever see with a change in paint color is everybody thinks you had it done because since the body panels all had to be replaced anyway you might as well paint it. But with the overall price of these cars down where they are I don't think that will matter all that much. Lots of other ways to make your car stand out though. Racing stripe, accent colors, whatever you can dream up.
