Will the hood, roof, and trunk be the factory gloss black?

Ahh ok, well in that case my choice, from the ones listed above, is matte black. I think a matte blue would be more unique and interesting, but only if the entire car were the same color.

You should paint it a color that nobody else has. Set yourself apart from everyone else. But if it must be the ones you listed, go with matte white

I think the matte blue could look good. It would definitely look different, but I don't think you can go wrong with matte white.

Hmm, if you're keeping the hood, roof, and trunk black...yellow might not be a bad idea either. It would definitely be unique.

However from the list you gave, I'd say either blue or white.
