Default Change the color? or keep it?

Ok guys, so after i get my car tuned i am going to be stripping it and painting the car. Both to get rid of rust, scratches, and make the car all one color.
here are the colors i am looking at
-Keep it green
-subaru blue (looks pretty bad ***)
-Silver
-Red

Any sujestions would be helpful! As of right now im just doing the outside of the car, and door jambs, and possible under fenders. Im Going to paint the engine bay when ever the engine comes out.

I like the green because there just isn't many of them that color. When you change colors also consider that the entire car inside and out was painted body color. If You like the green I'd stick with it unless you really want to commit to doing under the hood, the jambs, the trunk, inside the doors, etc etc. But Hell even if you are diggin a pink paint job go for it.

Last year at the drag strip a guy showed up in a 91 lx hatch with this color. Lowered down a bit with 3" chrome tails and 17" chrome rims. Normally I'm not a lime green kinda guy, but with the metallic and chrome offset it was Unreal... so beautiful!

I say keep the green, like Portmaster said, there aren't many out there that color. Changing colors on a car is a pain in the ***, trust me. Mine is being done Black Cherry after being Sonic Blue and White. The bumper is off, the ground effects, the quarter windows, the hatch, the hood and all the trim is off. It's a lot of work.
