have you considered a vinyl wrap ? so much cheaper , the perfect finish and you can always remove to sell on if needed ? also it does not chip as easy as paint . i think white is a good shout and a safe bet . ive always thought that a solid grey, in gloss not metallic would look lovely ive seen it on a porsche carrera and ever since then ive wanted it check it out

How do you clean vinyl? Can't wax it surely?

If I were to do it I would probably go for a wrap..

ibis white is the audi colour, to be fair ford arctic white is a brighter white, i have done full resprays in both, the best white however is simply the white tinter off the scheme

like so:
