Dark blue's always been my favorite color on a Vette, but that's just my $0.02.

I think both of those colors are good, but I would go with that blue. That's pretty nice I think.

When I get older, I'm going to totally customize a '78 Vette. And the paint job will probably be metallic blue or metallic red with two racing stripes of metallic silver on it. That would be crazy.

Good luck and have fun!

Post pics when you are done.

I vote blue as well. In the C5 colors, I REALLY like Eletron Blue or even Radar Blue (1998 Pace Car, almost purple). My favorite blue is Admiral Blue a la late C4 and Grand Sports. Good luck whatever you decide.

I would paint it Black! But thats just me, I have always liked Black cars.

Between the choices you presented, I would go with the Dark Metalic Blue. The American Racing Torque Thrust will look good against the Dark Blue.

Be sure to show us pictures!
