Repainting my Ford GT - colors??

So my 06 Ford GT has been red since built!!! (albeit mine is not stock - it has black stripes and black wheels, mirrors etc)

But with 8000 miles on it - it's starting to get the odd area where it could use a refresh - and its made me think that it might be a chance to go in a different direction and repaint it?

I'm drawing up a short list of colors and so far it looks like this :

1) the stock Ford GT yellow - black stripes

2) the yellow/orange color used on the GTX1 models - "Valencia Orange" I think - with silver/grey or black stripes

3) Orange - like 997GT3RS Mk1 - or Porsche "Pure Orange" - black stripes

4) Porsche Signal Green or Viper Green - with Black stripes (like the car in Germany)


So has anyone seen a GT in any of these colors - especially the Valencia Orange (current favourite) - as they often look very different in the flesh than in pictures on the internet??

Just looking for opinions really!

Thanks!

I hate to be a party pooper but i'm assuming you're planning on keeping her? for EVAR?

repainting kills resale values.
