for me this depends entirely on the type of car.

for cars similar to say a '70 pontiac gto, it would be a deep metallic colour, probably primary (red, yellow or blue) 3 clear coats and cut down to produce a perfecto finish!

on jap/import tuners i would go for a dark colour, my favourite would either be black or midnight blue. i suppose white would be good in pearl, but not too in your face.

dream cars, hypercars and showcars will have the special effect, multi tonal, shimmer paints etc. just to produce an intricate suit for an intricate car.

it it was a chavvy nova (no offence to those who owned novas..good car) then it would be a cheap black with clear lacquer that had glitter in. i had the pleasure of seeing this in blackpool once and it was just rediculous!

Wise choices - I think you've covered all of the bases.
