Okay so I am goign to pull my car off the road here come fall to begin rebuilding it and turning it into a street/track car. I have decided I want it to be a different color. I will paint the whole car, you know door jams, the entire egine bay etc. since it is going to be primarly a race car all care about originally goes out the window. so what do you think I should paint it. I want it to be a factory color. However White, Speed Yellow, Gurads Red and Colbalt Blue are out since 3 out of the 4 colors where factory colors on the 944 series. The colors I was thinking where Atlas Grey, Gulf Blue(Becoming more common again) Conda Green, GT Silver Metallic, Forest Green Metallic or Carmona Red Metallic.
Which color do you think I should paint it. If you have any other suggestions let me know

silvers and metallics look good on road cars, but they're bad for race cars. It just takes from the whole brashness of the race car's attitude.
Also keep in mind if you drive on a track your paint has the potential to get really messed up, and having a flat color will be easier to repair and touch-up.
Stripes are cool!
