    Debating what color to paint my e30

    i just picked up a 2 door manual and it is in need of a paint job. I can paint it myself but i am just having a problem figuring out what color to paint it. i am between 4 different colors. 1. Pearl white with blue flakes. 2. Straight white. (Alpinweiss (2)). 3. Lagunengrün Metallic (dark teal blue). 4 the one im leaning towards the most... Valencia Orange 2010 BMW 1M.

    I am more towards Valencia because it would be a badass color.
    On the other hand i like painting my wheels random colors and the only colors that look good on Orange is white, Gunmetal, and black.
    Should i do straight white so that i am open to every color for wheels or do orange because i have only seen one similar to what i want to do and its in Ireland.
    Let me know your opinion thanks.

                Not number 1.

                It would be interesting to see an e30 painted valencia orange. Trouble is, it would either look totally amazing or absolutely awful!

                Personally, of the four I would go straight white.

                          Can I recommend two semi related colors?
                          Zobelbraun (Zoebelbraun?) Metallic instead of Bronzit

                          Smaragdgrun Metallic instead of Lagunengrun Metallic
