    Black with dark or pearl black racing stripes, would only be visible with the sun over it.

    Clear coat it straight away instead of leaving it out in the rain.

    I wouldnt paint it black unless your keen on washing your car every day to make it look good and unless its dead straight, coz black will show up any imperfections.

    dunno if this has been mentioned but youre planning on keeping this for a long time, yeah? repainting an entire car basically suggests major reconstruction work, i.e youve been in an accident, redone panels and shit and have repainted it. any prospective buyer looking at it will go hm thats not the colour it was manufactured in, what happened
