Default Paint Help?

Ok so my 88 gxl is factory silver with almost no clear left on it. I'm trying to decide on what color I want to paint it and I'm open to all suggestions. I'm thinking about either Bayside Blue (skyline from fast and furious 4), or house of kolor platinum pearl. The car has a blue interior, and will have tii hood and front bumper and s5 tail lights. And also when I repaint it I am doing the engine compartment, door jambs, and underside. Any suggestions on colors

Just go with whatever you like best. Colour is such a personal thing.
