Painting care - Color Help

[GP4U2NV]

Basicly, I have a 83 that I am making a clone. All the blacked out trim ect. With-out the engine. I am going to do something different with the engine. I am unsure of what that is at this time.

Anyways, I am down to a couple colors. Hoping for votes.

Option 1) Black Gloss

Option 2) Flat Black (simms hot rod / blitz black etc)

Option 3) White

Option 4) Dark gun metal gray

Option 5) OEM color maroon ( have not seen this color if anyone can help with that it would be great)

My first choice would be white, but I am biased. GM code 79, dark maroon, is a really nice color. Heres a pic of color

I think I might spray my other Regal that color whenever I get around to doing something to it. Someday.

Nice, that is the first picture I have seen of that color.

Do you have a larger picture?>

I like the gun metal gray...Then again that maroon is sharp as hell...Blacks are nice, but they show everything. Btw, what kind of car is it??

Sorry 1983 Regal T-Type clone.

Has, 86 nose, hood, tail lamps etc.

Heres a couple more pics of a dark burgundy Regal. Pretty sure this paint code is 77. Almost looks like a black cherry

Here is a pic of my buddies 80 Monte code 79

I will see if I have some better pics of color.
I am pretty sure mid 90's Impala SS came with code 79 as well.

Another color you could look at is GM WA 526 F, Redfire red. Here is a pic of color on my DD, 2001 Grand Prix
