Painting my WRX

Finally decided to paint My Fat Black Pig (name of my car LOL). It's Obsidian Black Pearl (first i thought it was Java Black - ooops). My paintjob is really messed up since previous owner blew the battery up and acid ended up on my fenders and doors eating paint to the metal. Decided to change color, thinking of painting the thing WHITE so went around and found out 3 nice white colors
- 040 Super White Scion tC
- 34k Crystal White Pearl Chevy Corvette
- A2N Glacier White Mazda Speed 3
What do you guys think? What would you change/add?. I know most of you'll say that black is nice....but

I really like the white on the TC's, I think you should stick to an OEM color like AWP.

Are you taking the whole thing apart and painting it completely including door jambs?
Otherwise it will look ugly IMO

Have you considered a complete vinyl wrap? You can get it looking just like most of those paint colors, but I would love to see a super matte white subie.
