Unless you planning on stripping it all the way down, engine bay, door jambs and such, just leave it white. Maybe like a pearl white or something like that.

Well the expensive part was the paint it is not cheap at all, I taped and plaste off my whole garage and did everything in there, you need 400,600,800,1000,1500,2000,3000 grit sand paper (always wet sand) primer, top coat and clear coat. The primer, top coat and clear coat cost me about $500 plus sand paper and bondo other $100 do for about $600 and 15 hours of time I saved a lot doing it myself and I was shocked how I did on my first spray job on my car!!!!
