Default what color for my mugen?

dammit getting so close to the bodywork stage on my mugen B20-vtec i keep changing my mind on a near daily basis.
i should be getting the new replacement rear arches welded on this month and blended in, but i really want to paint this car myself.

the only thing is i just cant decide on what color.
are certain colors easier to spray than others? i also dont want to go to our yearly show and get stuck in a lot of 3 other mugen kitted vtecs all with the same color.

i really want root beer but i cant get it here as it is a u.s only color (honda element etc) the only option is to mix it but how close a match will the paint supplier get to it. :?
There are no oem silver ones over here yet, but looking at the pics i have found the silver makes the mugen kit look gash:

















if anyone is good with photo shop feel free to make me a rootbeer colored mugen crx lol.

any other color choices would be good, but i want an oem honda color, and one i can get a high reflection in (i love detailing cars)

Rootbeer would look cool. I'm a fan of black if it is kept clean.

I really like the first one and the red one with the white rims.
Not black, I have black and hate it, way too hard to keep clean, but looks very good when clean.
I would go with the solid red.

why cant they make the rootbeer color? as long as you can find out the paint code any paint supplier should be able to mix it and look exactly like the stock color, whether you have that color in your country or not
