hmmmm... you sure you even need a paint job.... What's wrong with your SC's red? looks good to me... if i didn't have a black car.... red or white would definately be my next two choices. I'm not too fond of the darker ones... i like the way that they are

nice and bright

I'd go orange like Din's car. Looks great. No point spending all the money and not having it look a little custom. I think it would be a shame to have a paint job done and still have it look stock. Check out this thread for a picture of the color.

I like the red on the new G35 coupes. I usually don't like red, but it looks hot on that car.
