Well, nothing final on my end. But I can tell you from the feedback I have got from here and instagram the choice for most is the copper. So here is my 2 cents. Quite some time ago I saw a set of Forgeline wheels done in a transparent red. Looked awesome. Tossed that around for a while and just couldn't make up my mind on the white. So myself as unpopular as it is I kind of like the grey/black with the red wheels. But like I said still undecided. Your opinion matters. don't be shy.
 
Some more food for thought. Just got these in an email a few minutes ago

love the colors.... maybe you didn't ask.....but I was thinking and hoping you might do something a little more wild on the overall scheme......

your car...your choice, .... just spitballin', of course.
 
The new 4 rendering's really look good, non black stripe and matching calipers are a nice touch.
BTW... Brad @ Bonspeed put a nice pic of the Duster on their Facebook page, if you get a chance check it out.

Denny, I'm all ears if your have something you would like to throw out there. I have looked at color for such a long time. The problem is not picking a color but a color that works on the car. I have seen the wrong color on a nice car more than ounce. With today's paint they all have what is called a top light and side light. Meaning the color will change depending on how the light hits the panel. Long flat panels get washed out with micka metallic on the sides of the cars. So I'm being very careful to make the right choice.
I'm working the fingers off the guy doing the renderings for me with color change. We have tried many many combinations and some are just horrible. The new B5 blue looks terrible on my car. The wheels play a big factor in color choice as well. If they where a polished wheel. Well I would have more options. I don't want it to be street rod flashy. More of a strictly business / industrial look. I know that by my post that not everyone can see all the other components and colors that will be used as well.
 
For the bronze. this is the color I will start with and do some spray outs to tweak it to my liking.

I will defiantly check it out, I'm sure you can relate to making color choices. A lot of sleepless nights thinking about it.

I agree.....and take your time , only you will know when it is what YOU want.

I personally love the Porsche black /grey color.......but looking for a cutting edge (like the car) scheme.....but that is me, and it's your hot rod.

Denny, I agree. I also like the black/grey in the rendering. But I don't believe the rendering is true to the actual color. The grey/black is a solid color. And the porshe has a very round body that it works on. I'm afraid that on my car it will look like wet concrete. LOL Here is the color

Scion has a color called Cement Grey, looks like shiny primer to me. What about dodge Mineral Grey ? Thats my stripe color but I think it would look good as the main color. I feel your pain, I flip flopped on color for a looooong time.
 
wow. Here is a prime example of how much the lighting affects the color of top light and side light. doesn't even look like the same color.
 
The pic I took at the Nats was also taken with my phone and the car was sitting in direct sunlight so it was hard to get a good focus. That being said, the car looked so good it caught my eye from 30 yards away and I had to walk over and get a pic
 
Jim, who has the butterscotch Hemi Demon Sizzler, has a new Charger Hellcat in that color.

Porsche has many different whites as illustrated by the two cars shown in the attached picture. One of them is the brilliant bright "refrigerator" white (glacier white) shown on the left and the other one here is biarritz white; kind of a "cue ball" white shown dead ahead.
