Despite the "relaxed" nature of the Supercar Sunday car show in the West Valley you can see some pretty stunning machinery between the hours of 7 and 11 a.m. I drove over with the Ford GT yesterday and was one of about eight Ford GTs (and several hundred other cars) in the parking lot. The previous Sunday I spent several hours detailing the Ford with various Zaino polishes, so it was ready to roll and the Midnight Blue paint was about as shiny as I've seen it. I parked between a Dodge Viper and Ford street rod, with a 427 Cobra directly behind me...
The only downside was the cool 45-degree temperature at 7 a.m. It slowly warmed up over the next couple hours, but then rain clouds threatened and I tried to get the car inside before my detailing efforts were summarily washed away by Mother Nature. Alas, a steady sprinkle fell on the way home, but because the car had several coats of wax the water just beaded up and rolled off. Thus the other reason to keep your car polished.

That is definitely the best color combination for the GT, IMO. That and the gunmetal gray color. Beautiful shapes don't need outrageous bright colors to draw attention to themselves.
