Took a while, but I know everyone is probably like me in that they couldn't wait to see the coupe in colors other than black, silver, red, and yellow...so here you go!

Also included some "fantasy colors" that I made up for fun, so hopefully there's something for everyone's taste. Enjoy!

Great work AaronWV, lol I told you that you were going to help me already decide my color for the Solstice coupe!

Hmm... I'm liking Pure the most from what you did... If it looks like that I'm soo getting it. Brazen looks pretty sweet too. I just need to see it in Cool and those are the three colors i'm now debating between.

Oh and thanks for doing this!

You just can't wait to get your coupe huh?

The colors that stand out to me are red, yellow, and white which is surprising because I wasn't a fan of yellow or white in the roadster form. I think since the coupe has lost the humps the car can get away with colors that don't show the curvature of the car and pop.

But if I were to choose one color it would have to be red.

To bad my mind is still made up on a deep gxp (roadster) unless if seeing the coupe in real life changes my mind. The way I see it "no humps, no sale".

With a car as good-looking as the Solstice, there truly is no bad color. Nice pics, thanks for letting us have a peek.

Yeah I tried some really outlandish paint schemes for fun, and really none of them looked too terrible. I'm still all about the Pure though–at least I think!

SlyCoupe - Yeah good call on that. I can't get enough of those lip trim rings. They are just the hotness on about anything.

Yeah, I've already made some calls to some of the local paint shops in my area (I looked into this a couple years ago actually, and know a friend who gets deals from a paint shop over in his neck of the woods because they did some custom paint work for him that said they'd powder coat a rim for $70-$85 each. So I wonder how the stock rims on the GXP would look powdercoated?

Hey AaronWV, it ok if I use that pic for my display pic?

Strange as it sounds, a black coupe with silver lipped rims and red centers looks pretty sweet too...kinda reminiscent of that 911 GT2 look.

Is the Champagne Pearl a real color or just a fun color. I really like it.

Just a color I invented for giggles. I think a tan-ish color would look cool...even like that non-metallic tan on VW Beetles, just because it's different.
