Paint Colors
I have a ways to go but just wondering what colors you think look good on a C4? Right now it's a metalic silver which looks kinda nice but needs to be repainted. I was thinking either red, black, or just redo the same color.

You are going to get numerous answers and red will be about 98% of all.
If you Vette is silver, I recommend to re-paint it the same color. Silver Vettes looks great, find a
matching set of wheels and you will be satisfied.

Clearly your only option is to paint each body panel a different color.

Bright or Torch Red would be my biased choice. 
But if you're in Texas, where it gets quite hot in the summer, I'd stay with the original silver.

I would leave it the same. If you do change it, go with black, it's the anti-red.

I am absolutely nuts about black cars. Had red ones and not a real big fan of red anymore. Silver would be a sharp looking color on a Vette. Keep it silver, especially in Texas, it gets d**n hot in the summer.

Keep in mind that you are not confined to Corvette colors. Mine is Torch Red, but if I repaint it I may go with a slightly darker/richer red, such as Honda or Mitsubishi red. Just make sure that you go with a stock paint from some manufacturer so that you have a paint code to match in case of a repair. Lots of beautiful stock colors out there.
