Are you planning on adding gfx and some other stuff or are you leaving the car stock as it sits in the pic? If you're leaving it stock, I'm not sure I would go too radical on the paint. It may look...well, not so good. Iwth gfx, I think the burndt orange is beautiful. If you're keeping your car stock, i'd stick with the burgundy, but go with a good deep rich burgundy.

Remember...this is only my oppinion.

have to agree....a brighter color will really bring out the body so be sure you have it the way you want.

the burnt or sunset orange is extremely overdone as there are so many custom and production vehicles nowdays. however, it's your car paint it what you want.

if i were to go orange i'd stick with a huggar orange custom variation or some sort of candy orange.

if i were on a budget and wanted orange i'd use a bright standard 2 stage orange and throw a gold pearl over it for depth.

good luck!

I am thinking on puting IROC gfx on it, seems how the bumper is now torn after my wreck 4 months ago. Does any body like Victory Red?

Oh yeah, if you're doing some GFX, victory red would be sweet.
