Which color would you consider to be the best "sleeper" color?
Thanks

I've always liked the stock Chevy truck color, red/orange, and red goes faster too!

No offense taken! I get varied reactions from people that see my truck. Half of them say it's a great classic color on a classic truck, the other half say it reminds them of their kids diapers when they were real little.

I wish I could say mine's a sleeper, but with a tired 350 and a th350 that might, just might, be able to move a Geo Metro on a good day, it moves slower than a turtle going uphill...

I'm trying to decide between the factory med green w/white top & graphite grey interior or possibly going all white w/new body side trim & red interior. Decisions, decisions. Whichever I decide, it will be stock looking but 'how does he drive that thing' low, slick( naked except for the fact body mouldings), & simple.

ochre. A few of the other colors I am considering (not all sleep colors) Butternut Yellow, Electron Blue (2002 Vette) and just plain ole white.

I'm not sure what color you call this... but it's so "sleeper" my own truck sometimes falls asleep. How about the dreaded "old mix and match parts non-paint job" look? That sounds sleeper to me. Or, if you throw on some seriously rusty doors like longhornmail's recent "stock car" experience...
