Need opinions for new paint job
OK I've had my 06 IS250 for about 4 months now. It is black (not the pearl or metallic) with 18% tint and 19" chrome TSW Cadwells. Everything else is stock.
Well last week we got a small hail storm and it chipped my paint all up so the insurance company is about to buy me a nice new paint job. Since I've become good friends with a great painter after restoring a 70 Dodge Charger and 70 Dodge Challenger and also having my 95 Z28 Camaro repainted thanks to my grandma backing into my car lol I'm wanting to do something different/custom.
I'm thinking possibly a two tone. Or just keep it one color lol. But I'm wanting to use either a metallic burnt orange color and/or a metallic black. What are your thoughts on this? Any suggestions? Suggestions on other colors? Also I'm not a fan of blues or greens or reds. If anything else I'd consider a white or silver/grey. But ANY ideas would be greatly appreciated and photoshoppers would be even more appreciated LOL Thanks in advance guys!

I take it some of ya'll have a sense of humor lol. Honestly blue is about my least favorite color except for very few select shades including dodges electric blue? its used on some of their trucks and that lamborghini looks good but not something I'd wanna live with.
Right now I'm thinking a dark charcoal grey metallic color and a matte black upper two tone paintjob??
Keep the ideas coming and the pictures really help to visualize as well even if they arent of an IS
