Paint: I can't decide between colors!

My S4 was repainted (By a novice at Maaco) once already by the PO and she's starting to show signs of rust on the bottoms of the door and around the fuel door.

I'm going to fix her(yes, I am one of those guys) once it warms up enough, but I can't frikken decide between "Subaru Dark Gray Metallic", "Cadillac Pearl White", "Nissan Interlagos fire" or "Nissan Brickyard Red" and it's driving me crazy!

Anyone else have this problem? If so how did you decide?

I have a friend who's car was repainted the Caddy Pearl White and it looks very nice if done right.

Personally, I'd go with the Subaru Gray Metallic, I think it generally looks really good.

Hello I personally paint cars for a living and I'd like to say that all red paints are the most expensive paint color to buy. Also pearl white is expensive because it is a 3 stage color. A grey or silver would be a lot cheaper to paint. Also stick with quality brands like ppg and DuPont!

SC-FC that's what I originally wanted after seeing one on xceedspeed years ago and then I saw pictures of a Caddy pearl white FC here and I was drooling. I have no idea how the two Nissan colors would look on the FC but I've always loved "Red" Z's
