    I like the alpine white which is stock on my car... Put a blue or purple pearl over it, and it looks sweet ....

    i would like to go to white but theres a few problems, i live near a coal terminal and theres tons of coal dust everywhere and 2, i also live near QAL ( Queensland Alumina. so everything gets covered in orange dirt aswell. so if i went white i would be like washing it every week.

    Yeah have not got a pic...

    But what you need to do is base spray the car in the white.. Then mix an orange pearl into the clear, and spray over the top ... It may not have been done before, but call into any spray painter and ask them if they can do you up a sample...

    i think that hot house green looks sweet on older commodores, as does panther mica and tiga mica.
    heres hothouse and tiga, if you dont know what they are (panther mica is black - so i wont bother with a pic).
    *edit: dont ask me why they are both wagons, i just googled the colours and they were the first i found.
