So after alot of thinking. And the car being completely sanded. Do I stick with same color or change it. If you had the option. Would you keep it the same or change it?

I wanted to go with that new C8 Blue. Elkhart.
But I'm going to stick with the original. I've been told that original color is not very common on the G8. Not sure if it is true or not.

Ever look at the Kia Soul red? If you have to stay GM. New Corvettes have a nice Met Red.

How about the Mazda Soul Red Crystal on the CX-5's... that color is quite impressive when you see it!

I'm definitely not a fan of the original color.

Yeah that red crystal definitely shines. It would run me around $2500+ for the paint. Would put me over my budget at this point.
