New Paint any ideas for color?

Hey guys I'm getting ready to repaint my Cougar but I'm kind of tied up between colors. The car was originally dark red, but i what to go a little more extreme. I was thinking of a burnt orange metallic or comp orange. What do you guys think. I'm open to all your ideas.  :canada:

:iagree: Go with a metallic color. Solid comp orange is too bold for these cars and you don't want it to look like a pumpkin.

I've seen a Copper 83-86 T-Bird before, definitly an eye catcher.
