Help with paint choice

[lrall]

So with the truck project im doin its getting to the point where we need to spray things here and there. We have decided on a dark metallic grey, but specifically what one we dont know. Id like to go with a stock color so we dont have to repaint the whole truck should we get a ding or something. I wish i could keep it a chevy color but that doesnt really matter, i was thinking about the slate grey that comes on the Vipers?? help me out fellas

a dark metallica grey would be a great llooking color on a truck. I would assume that if you went to the place that is going to paint your truck that they would have a list of gm colors and you could decide from there, if not I'm sure gm would be happy to tell you what colors they have.

I like the metalic grey on the Sheby GT 500. It is a medium metalic grey with light metalic grey stripes. The color makes my thingy squirt.

you cant really tell from the pics but there it is REALLY shiny.. there was some kind of flake in it too that just set it off.. if i ever paint a car gray it wont be any other except platinum gray..
