if it was me i'd be more tempted to make it as mint and original as possible if you want to be different. if it's a v1 sti it's going to be rare, one of only 200 iirc.

If your going for a full respray then the painter will have to spray it silver first then add the candy colour on top, (my bro owns a body shop) he said prob looking about 2k ish, i think it will be worth it tho...
try looking on some web sites search for Rage colour, or House of colour these sites show all the different paints.....
