That is almost EXACTLY the color I want to paint my car, should I ever scrape up the funds to have it painted.
I've always been a big fan of the gunmetal/metallic charcoal colors - elegant, understated and sexy as hell. Maybe some nifty iridescent metallic stuff mixed in so it reflects pinks and greens or blues in different light at different angles. Subtly though, nothing ostentatious. --------------------  |

How about Toyota's Thundercloud metallic? Used on 4Runners and Land Cruisers only I believe.

I love it! there were like four '07 Camry's that color in the shop all at the same time yesterday. I didn't have my camera on me and I was working (obviously) so I couldn't take any pics, but it was a sign!

WOOOT car is all registered, and on the road.
first day driving it. first impressions: damn, stock suspension is much softer than 5 yr old (AKA worn out) kybs and sportlines! auto is boring. stock speakers suck. damn, even a stock auto celica has TONS more TQ and power than a 93 civic Vx. lol i havent had a chance to pickup the hood from big D yet, ill prolly do that on sunday. im 90% sold on magnetic grey pearl for the color, i think it will look pretty sweet. it will be a nice contrast to the wifeys car, which is much more bold looking compared to the grey. i think i will be going with a more "sleeper" look, if you can call it that. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

I was going to ask to "test drive" a new Camry to your house but I'm not sure when or if they will even let me. -------------------- |

never go wrong with neutral colors - it might be a tough one to put gun metal wheels on it, you don't want it to monochromatic. you can pass with bronze on it, - i've seen that scheme many times.
