choosing a gunmetal color for the Z car. Any opinions?

it is a pretty stupid question as it's kind of hard to be biased... I am choosing a nissan color.

KH2 gun gray metallic (R32 skyline)
KN6 dark gray pearl (R33 skyline)
KV3 gray lustre (00-03 maxima, and maybe others)

does anyone have experience with these colors, or what seems to look better on a Z, (280z) pearls or metallics?

gray lustre
gun gray metallic
dark gray pearl

honestly they all look so alike (heh)

or a lighter shade....



I think the Maxima looks best in the above pictures, but it also looks like a professional photo so the it may just all be in the lighting.
