Default Fadding paint effect ?

I recently got into an accident involving a chevy avalanche and me car.
to make a long story short: I got a brand new front bumper, hood and fenders for free. they were painted Teal to match the rest of my car.
the front looks soooo sweet now, and my back looks like **** (gloss is gone)
anyways I'm getting the rust off too. but i was just wondering if I should paint the rest teal, or get some sort of fading effect, teal to midnight blue or something. you think that would look nice ? does anybody have a fading paint job on here that I can see ?

Faded paint jobs were cool in the 80's on conversion package trucks...

I would presonally go a solid color

but it's not dramatic color change,
it's teal to blue, it's is the same family,
it's just getting darker
