I love the renderings. All the color choices are cool. However, My choice would be dark grey metallic...silver would be my next choice.
In any case, your project seems to be well thought out and tasteful.

I like the dark gray metallic on there also but for me it would be solid gray with maybe just the red pinstripe like on the silver one.

on the renderings, I like the upper left/ dark grey as well.... then again, I like anything dk/ gunmetal grey! I likr the process you're taking on this, by not getting in a hurry, and thinking through the process! keep it up, and it'll come out beautiful without a doubt!

as for the "Camabubu"...:doh: Hate the front, on the fence over the taillights (might be alright if there was a matching panel in between the lights) and the secondary pocket? :blam:

I've been partial to the dark gray two tone as well, but I'm thinking of ditching the Malibu "flag" on the door to keep things simple. Plus, it may look dated in 10-15 years.

I've learned too many times the hard way not to rush a project. It only means more work and more money to get it right later!

Here are some renderings of the solid paint colors. My only two rules on paint are no black (too much work to keep nice) and it has to match a burgundy interior (sentimental reasons).

Very nice!

My first choice would be white but I'm very partial to a white Malibu/Gbody. I also like the silver..

I like the solid colors better, really can't go wrong with any of them.

I understand the attachment to the red interior, as my regal will have the burgandy as well. I already have a new carpet, and have modified the upper back seat, and refinished a dash for it, so I can't really afford to change my mind now... lol

still partial to the dk grey on the paint, as I'm thinking that with a burgandy GSX stripe for my regal.

I think in person the dark grey will look the best
