The Frankenwagon is finally getting paint! HELP ME DECIDE!

I have a good family friend at Maaco who said he would paint the car for $300. Any color I want. I trust the guy, hes a family friend so I will not be getting the "regular" $300 treatment. The guy will do a good job. So now the question is not only what color do I paint it, but should I also have him peel off the two tone gray Outback lower door stickers and paint it all one color? I do not want the bumpers painted so they will be staying black. But beyond that I cannot make up my mind. Here are some of my thoughts.
-flat green (if so, which color green? Light or Dark?) I really like this idea.
-flat black
-satin khaki with clearcoat
-white (to match the back) I really like white wagons for some reason. It would look really good splattered with mud.
-dark red
-any other color I want.

Should I remove the two tone stickers or leave them?

Please help me decide! Most of you know the car and what I use it for, what paintjob would match its character the best?

i like the idea of a dark flat green the best, and remove the stickers, just my opinion though

I really like this flat black but I think it would show the imperfections in the bodywork.

Satin Khaki with clearcoat. Pretty much my fav. Not sure how it will look on a rally wagon.

Satin Khaki with no clear. You all know of the Khaki Hatch on here too. It looks pretty good. Again, not sure how it would look on my wagon.

I'm open to ideas, remember this is my DD at school though.

The SCCA stickers have been long gone for a while. The numbers from the Rallycross pic are just tape and magnets.

is asking people to help you decide to say that you can choose something you like on your own?

I assume you meant "cant" there. And yes, I'm having trouble deciding on my $300 paintjob. You don't have to contribute if you don't want to. After all, this thread is all about serious bidness.
