I knew that was an olds Space. I just didnt know the model.

I do like when new colors come out. I like Red for sports cars but black is good too. I really like the new oranges and bright blues gm has. Another color that looks pretty good is the color I seen on an import. I'm not sure what kind of car it is but the color is kinda a shiny grey primer. It looks really good.

Good hit, 'Space. Those Olds are some great, classic rides. Look at the style and engineering of them, then think about the modern day Olds before it's demise in '04. It kinda gives the phrase “This Is Not Your Father’s Oldsmobile” a whole new meaning.

As far as favorite color goes, I've had my eye on one called Sunburst Orange II Metallic. GM used it on the Cobalt and probably others. I'd like to put a pearl variation of that color on my Monte some day. Next to that, Candy Bing Cherry Red Metallic shot over a silver base has always turned my crank.

GM needs to listen to US customers more and Europe less. US is meant both ways.

As far as paint colors vibrant colors are popular, i really wanted a "gotta have it green" mustang gt but once u think about it can u live with that color for several years?? I think black, silver, white, red, & blue will still be the norm for car colors

Every few years there's a new batch of trendy colors. In the 90's turquoise, and every shade of blue-green were hugely popular. But the basic colors always seem to stand the test of time. Black, white, red, blue, silver. Colors like green and yellow really depend on the car it's on. Some cars look like crap painted green or yellow.
