What color to paint my hatch?

So as many of you know, I wrecked my car a few weeks back.
I bought it back, had Tom weld a new radiator core support, throw on a stock hood, and I'm fixing up the front end of the hatch. With the money I got from the insurance I'm going to finish the bodywork, get some new mirrors, EK spoiler and I'll plan on painting the whole car in the spring. The whole body has dents and dings everywhere I"m going to be fixing...
I would like to know your opinion on what color to paint it. So I narrowed it down to 4 choices:
1. Super Sonic Blue Pearl Clearcoat, B-90P, offered on '99 civics overseas.

2. Phoenix Yellow, Y-56, I think this is the ITR color.

3. Gunmetallic, like dark silver, haven't seen many in this color:

4. Just keep it Vogue Silver Metallic, NH-583M, my hatch stock color:

Off topic:
here's a pic I ran across while googling for these pics.

+1 on the Silver. not necessarily from an expense standpiont, but just less hassle (redoing the jambs, underhood, etc...yuck).

Also agree with DC2...it's your car, we can only give our OPINION.

Super Sonic Blue Pearl hatch is HOT! I say go with that.

And in all reality its not too expensive if you know the right people :biggrin:

VSM would be my first choice (duh, I have 3 VSM cars....) but EBP (electron blue pearl) would be my second choice.

If you don't have the money to do it right (jambs, engine compartment, etc) I would definitely stick with VSM as I think it looks bad having different color jambs and engine comp and it also hurts resale.
