Repainting my car a different color

I purchased a new front bumper, rear bumper and my hood needs some touch ups. I was wondering since I will be getting all this work done anyway do you think it would be a good idea to just pick another color My car right now is Apex silver. I want a more flashy/shinny grey. I think I have seen some mercedes with this great silver that kinda turns bluish in difference angles, sorta like titantium. My girlfriend just got a Scion with this color called Flint Mica which looks great. I was even thinking of something of the along the lines of those colors.

What do you guys thing? Any other colors in the greyish spectrum that would look pimp? I will be doing most of the work myself since I have good friend of the familiy who runs a body shop. I'll be preping everything he'll just spray. Most likely I just be paying materials.

I don't think you should paint it that OEM can get and instead get a custom color. I mean you're already paying for it why not go custom? It'll be a ***** trying to match it later on though lol.

Audi S4 liquid silver color would absolutely make the car look classy as all get out. Or you can go with candy apple red or something.

Just don't choose seafoam/mint green. If I ever sell this Integra GS-R drivetrain, I'll be painting over my WW.

Basalt Black (Porsche), Slate Gray Metallic (Porsche), Silver Gray Metallic (BMW), Nighthawk Black Pearl (Acura), Berlina Black (Acura), Graphite Gray Pearl (Lexus), and Black Onyx (Lexus) are all colors I'd consider.

Red would be nice but I want to keep something similar to Apex Silver so i don't have to repaint the engine bay, trunk etc... The Kaiser silver from the NSX looks really nice.
