Is it worth it to paint my whole car?

I've just been informed that I can get a full paint job from a guy w/ equipment and 18 years of experience for 300 bux plus paint cost! This can be any color I want too. So now im stuck.... Imola Yellow w/ black vinyl wrapped roof (or painted if there's left over black from my friends car)? Santorin Blue? OEM Volcano Black Mica? I am so stuck they all look soooo good. Hard part is finding an S4 bumper ASAP! And should I just replace and paint my stock lowers or go w/ S4 ones? I found some for 200 but I don't have that kind of money. Defiantly getting an M3 lip though. I'm leaning towards Imola yellow and black roof though its not over done and looks hawt!

do this, volcano black the whole thing. then do a white roof and the 4 pillars. that would look nice. santorin blue is too popular, gotta do something different and special. or you could do some like fred did

Santorin Blue is the obvious choice. The ladies seem to flock to cars of this color. Its an odd phenomenon that hasn't yet been explained by science.

I would go for an OEM color that didnt come on B5s that way theres even less of a chance to find a twin out there. Misano Red and Ibis White are 2 of my favorite colors right now. Also Aruba Blue or Dolphin Grey would probably look great too.

Im gonna put a big no to the white roof haha. I kind of think there is too much Santorin Blue out there already but the Imola Yellow isn't very common (and only available on S4's right?).
Also I would want to smoke the Ring's and emblems (I refuse to debadge) not actually paint black but give them a black chrome look just like the rings in my sig but a shade lighter just realized thats much like the b6 titanium package! As soon as I sell a couple things on ebay and order a bumper I will be doing this! Totaly cost I am estimating 6-700. That all depends on how much paint costs though... Nagaro blue has passed through my head a few times but it reminds me of crayola crayons...
