The white didn't quite do it for me. And I also thought about what sublimegreen said about not going overboard with the colors. With that in mind I decided to change the color scheme to darker colors all over. Went over the body with Tamiya Blue Metallic Acryl. Made sure that it didn't come out even, just to ease the transition to a scrappy looking fading paint.
Then I masked off the front right fender and painted it semi flat black and then I did the same with the trunk lid.
After that it was time for some grey primer on the spots where the owner has fixed the rust and where the paint needed fixing due to the tape lifting it off a bit in some places. The tape lifting paint off was actually a blessing this time (imagine that), as I want the paint to look like it has seen better days when it is finished.
Now the pics for today:
