Repainting WRX, what color?

Okay, I'm stuck between a few choices.. I need you guys to help me decide.. most likely, your vote won't matter but tell me your opinion on the color you choose. It's an 03 WRX stock PSM. Everything except engine bay will be done.

Also, if you think I should get PSM again. Car will be painted nicely with 6 coats of clear, as well. I'm fond of Satin paint jobs, but I hear they're a lot of work, so I voted for OBP myself.

Olive!

Just a baller color IMO... and a good color to go for since it isn't a factory color.

Don't do the flat colors, they are EXTREMELY FRAGILE and will scratch with even a fingernail for months after the paint is applied. Unless you keep it in a garage, the flat is a lot of trouble from what I have seen...

^ yeah, that's what threw me away from them.. they're hard to take car of so.. only if I had a dedicated track car or a show car would I do that, now.. but who knows.. I might just decide when I get it to the shop.. haha.

obsidian black pearl (but the one with the bit of gold flake) was an awesome color

silver will always be easy to keep clean and won't show scratches in the future.

matte/flat colors are nice but won't last very long without a clear coat (which makes it not so flat and matte).

The one with the gold flake is Java Black Pearl
