exterior paint color opinions please

ok so as some of you may or may not know i was recently clipped by an oil tanker and im going to be needing some new parts/repairs. well needless to say ill be having it all sprayed with new paint which in my eyes will cause a problem. ill have brand new paint on 1/4 of the car and old paint on the rest. i dont know about you guys but that will probably start to bug me. i dont want to be able to tell the cars been partially repainted... so i was thinking if i could come up with enough extra cash i could repaint the exterior. but i would kinda hate to repaint it all the same color. now i already know a lot of you will say to do it right and have the door jambs trunk and engine bay painted but unfortunately i dont think ill be able to afford it. for sure i would do the door jambs and hopefully any visible painted areas in the trunk. and maybe likearound the edges of the engine bay. but theres no way i can afford to have the engine pulled and the whole thing done.

so in your opinions (if i chose to repaint it) are there any colors i could paint my car that wont look so retarded with the engine bay still a dark green? i know darker colors probably wouldnt be so hard on the eyes with the hood popped... but i kind of would like to go with a lighter color. and i just dont see that working out so well. but i dont know... id like your opinions on it...

only way to go is going a custom color...... makes you unique from the rest and maybe stand out... this could be good or bad depending on the color.

IMO.... CANDY COLORS or _________ with MAD PEARLS.... FTMFW! :thumbs up

oh and btw... my engine bay is still green.... but it looks black from all the dirt and shit... lol its barely noticable

i was thinking more of a custom color... but i really have no clue as to what color i would like. other then i was thinking a lighter color so dust and dirt doesnt show as much. but i suppose if it was the perfect color i could go with something dark. i just dont know where the hell to start

i'm between white and black... white is very clean but gets dirty easily... black colors you notice the imperfections very easily and buffing it is kinda difficult sometimes cause you can still see the swirls which you dont want.... so iono... thats why i have silver.... lol its in between.... can't hate it or love it. adding pearls to a color makes a huge differance too... gives it lots of efffect when the sun hits it.

what about midnight green? it looks black but once the sun hits it... BAM! green sparkles.... midnight blue is c0o too... can't go wrong with that.... iono... the color and combos are countless
