I would go with something can can contrast with black.... I think a 2 color theme is the best. Dark blue or a dark color wont really contrast black very well so I would go with a lighter color.
Maybe somethign yellowish... dark yellow with pearl, something in that area. Yellow and black color scheme would look great.

Rep Power: 511 that does look good, but a couple of people already have wrx blue 7thgens. i might just do the 350z blue since no one did that yet.

Rep Power: 0 Don't do gunmetal IMO. Too many people do that color and it's just not something that impresses people anymore. A color I would recommend is "Dolphin Gray" I forgot who made the color, but it's very close to the silver/blue you see on the mercedes. It's a brillient silver with hints of blue. When you look from the side it's all light blue, but when you look dead on, it's all silver. It has an almost pearl effect without the high maintance of pearl.
Or you could always do a marble color. ha ha

Rep Power: 511 dolphin gray you say? hmmm. got a pic of this? this would be perfect cause i probally wouldnt have to worry about door jams and such
i would pimp out the interior with the money honestly. sure the paint job is a nice touch but the car is stock on the inside..... somethign isnt right for a show car.
after i get my 19s i'm hookin up a TV, PS2, custom trunk set up for my system, leather interior and after that is done i'm doing paint.
just my opinion though

Some might come really really close but a person with a good eye will always catch it. My kit is slightly off shade too..... NO ONE besides me noticed haha. I asked all of my friends to look closely at it and none of them can tell its slightly misshaded. Only I can..... cuz I know and I look at my car everyday.
I bet its the samething with you.... only you notice and no one else.
