Well I voted for orange accidentally, but I think you should go with a bright yellow, like Corvette Comp Yellow.

Of course, if you decide change is not good, there's always Black.

I say black. The car looks good now black, you wouldn't have to jamb it, you are used to black, and keeping it clean ( I hope).

ANd, I just painted mine bright orange, and don't want others orange

go orange or black but stay away from orange metallic. Metallic paint is more difficult to work with. If you ever get into a future accident, its more difficult to match the metallic.

Meh, paint it what you want man.. never NOT do something with your car because someone might key it or steal it, or you might get into an accident.. deal with that IF and WHEN it happens, but dont do something you like, but not love, because something MAY happen.
