    Bright Red (Ferrari or Ford Truck Red). That would be my choice other than proton yellow. You used to see a lot of those copper colored FXes around town, but I rarely see them now - I do like the Red FX color that they had the first year - hot!

    Someone had the same idea awhile back about going copper.

    It looks pretty good, and makes an already unique vehicle even more so.

    This copper/orange VX is my favorite repaint, hands down. Plus, it's an official Isuzu color (used on the Amigo and maybe on the Rodeo).

    I have sort of decided on flat OD green. But I will wait until most of my exterior mods are done to completely decide.

    That would be Wyldweasel's VX. She is a member here on the board, though she hasn't ben to active here lately. If you do a search of her name you will find info about her paint job and what Isuzu color it is. It actually surprised me how nice it looked in person.

    If those are the choices I would go all metallic black including the cladding, hood insert, sideview mirrors, and roof rails, woohoo!

    Yeap,black is number 1 so far on my list,i'd thoughts about going stealth,adding tint windows @ 5 % on the rear,20% on the side & 30 % on the driver/passenger windows,even painting the wheels

    I am partial to oj and if I didnt get a black vx I was going to paint it oj anyways. Well the silver one has grown on me now and now I have let my decision change and keep it how it is. Its grown on me.
