Changing the color of a car completely is a pain to do well. Unless you've got the engine and all associated parts out, and are prepared to mask off the whole interior to get the door jams and rear hatch, I wouldn't do it. I just hate to see cars that have a different color engine bay and door jams. What you could do is paint the car a different shade of silver, or maybe a candy clear coat, pearl clear coat, or metallic flake. That way your new color still looks very different, but it will match with your engine bay and jams pretty well. It's you car though, if you don't mind the extra work, change the color at your will.
