Only thing you gotta watch is sometimes it looks like a wart if it's a different colour

Colour choice is going to be a personal thing!

I wouldn't try and colour match it if you keep it Silver, just use a durable standard silver colour plastic paint.

Be aware they are peeling for a reason and the plastic will be contaminated now so the long term answer is...

or

They don't colour match the Silver (not meant to) but look good on!

Personally I think the appeal of the silver is that it looks 'clean and crisp' if that makes sense? Stuff like colour themes and vinyls etc usually spoil the look on silver as they look messy - whereas the same theme or vinyls may look great on any other colour.

It's up to you though, the only person you need to have like it is you. That's the fun of modding, you can put your own stamp on it. :D

I still love doing stuff on mine 2 years later!

Done a good job there mate, looks nice as does Marky's. Mine was completely trashed and contaminated and no paint or sticker would work so had to buy new :( (scrappys wanted more for a 2nd hand one than it cost me new)
