    I would just go for a straight non metallic colour.

    my track s13 is metallic green and seems to attract damage, so every time its get paintwork costs me loads because I have to,
    prime
    basecoat
    colour coat
    clear coat

    if it was a solid non metallic colour then it would be
    prime
    paint

    which would be a damn sight cheaper.

    who is doing the painting? you?

    What about this Ford colour, Stealth. Solid colour and covers quite well too!

    When Gould but this spaceframe and carbon Puma 4x4 for Mike Endean they used a Ford colour, solid grey, because it saved a couple of litres of paint as it covered primer and carbon so well.

    I like the colour of that Ford. Dark grey does suit s bodies.

    This is metallic but you get the idea

    Start a vote thread with your top 5 choices give it a few weeks of bumping it every day to get as many votes as possible and whatever wins just go with it, people's choice
    I did this a few years back and white came in on top, with pink a very close second so be careful with your colour choice
