Dont think the orange would help if you want it to be a sleeper.
How about painting it in grey primer and leaving it like that, Now thats a sleeper colour.
If you use epoxy it wont rust or attract water,

i agree! sanding a kombi is a bitch! Im going an orange similar to the original but brighter, a 70s holden colour from the toranas i think. i recon
blue with white upper would look cool, just a warning tho, i have seen a couple of kombis in darker colours (reds especially) and they just dont look
right somehow, maybe too much colour over such a large area.
theres my 2c

gotta be yellow then
best to stay away from dark colours as they tend to show up any wobbly bits on your body work.
