    It's totally subjective mate and personally i think money spent on paint and not hoarse power is money wasted, a respray will cost heaps But keep these considerations in mind:
    *Red fades in the sun the worst
    *black although it looks very hot shows dust the quickest and you'll have to wash it weekly, i salso harder to see at night if you're safety conscious.
    * I had a metallic blue Vt, that stock colour, looks very cool with croamies but again would need to be washed weekly
    i think decals and stencils etc make cars look cheap and tacky. My VX is white and has had all badges and tiny stickers removed i think it has a clean look and doesn't show dirt as much as you'd think. hopes this helps with your decision

    Black the colour for sure and a VZ front end , the VE looks like a over-sized Astra, sorry.
