Default What color to paint car???

Well the PY/CW/TW combo is getting a little old (haha only been that way for a week) and I think it's time for a respray. At first I was thinking of just getting the mismatched panels painted PY but recently I've been thinking of going Imola Orange, any other suggestions?

Here is how the car sits now

That's an option but if I go w/ white it'd probably be Porsche's Carrara White

flat black.

i think laguna seca blue would look nice, yet unoriginal (and you know what everyones gonna say.. ) but a nice white would work, and im thinkin a nice bronze color would look good, or dark green.

No worries; good attempts. If I hadn't seem them before (IN ONE SOLID COLOR ) I would probably believe it was mismatched. BTW a little more white to get a CW looks like just faded py
