Keep the front as it is, paint the doors and roof white, and match the rear to the front and paint it black

I think you should pick a color and go all around. the two tones make it stand out too much, no?

On top of my suggested paintjob, duct tape a flashlight that points out of the window onto the a-pillar.

Not a fan of the grille. Are you planning on accenting anything else with the green? Might help a bit.

Great to see her on her feet so fast!! Mind if I ask....as of this point, how much have you put in?

Usual retail home improvement/hardware stores will only carry black, gray, and clear. But online, you can find a myriad of different colors.

Why would you even worry about the color of the plasti-dip? your painting over it anyways.

Most people use it as it is rather than a primer. Ive never heard of anyone painting over plastidip. How does it bond to it?
