Default Opinions on GSR Color Scheme

Hey all, I just wanted to get some opinions on this. I have a 1995 Integra GSR That I'm going to be painting as soon as I have time and money at the same time, lol. The kid who had the car before me primed the whole car, so now I have to take all that crap off and redo it myself. Gonna be a pain since it's hell to see any dents. Anyways, the point is I have to spray the whole car. After looking up the prices of paint it doesn't really matter what color I paint it, I'm not getting off cheap. So I may as well go with whatever color I want.

The original color is BG33-P (Paradise Blue Green Pearl). After looking at some other color chips I've decided that if I decide not to go with the original color I'm going to go with B561P-C (Dyno Blue Pearl). It looks to me that it goes rather well with the green. I'm going to rebuild the motor before I paint the car, and I was contemplating respraying the engine bay and tucking a few things. If I do, should I respray it the green, or the blue? (this is all provided I choose to paint the rest of the car blue. If it goes green the engine bay will stay green)

I also have a Sparco harness bar and a TDM cross brace inside. The harness bar I plan on painting green or not at all (it's the dark gray it came in from Sparco). The TDM brace is stainless and looks pretty good that way. So what's y'all's opinions. Paint just the harness bar, both, or neither (green)?

I'm on GSR fat five's right now, and don't plan on painting them. But if I get different wheels later on I plan on something with a polished or machined lip, and the inside of the wheel will be green.

So what do y'all think of the possible color schemes. I'd rather do it in a way that would help resale value because I might sell the car shortly after it's finished.

Here's a close picture of the Dyno Blue compared to the Paradise Blue Green:

It is your car! Why do you want a bunch of strangers opinions?

I am also pretty sure opinion threads are against the rules causing this thread to be deleted.

I always thought the teal colors looked really nice. Not a ton of cars thatever came in colors like that. But, that too is a nice looking blue. If it were me, I would probably do the teal
