M3 Conversion

I have a 1/24 diecast Racing M3 and I am going to convert it into a roadcar. I have all the stickers off and it is currently drying from the layers of primer. I am just wondering what color I should paint it. I'm thinking sort of blue or red. I might also convert my 911 GT3 CUP ups racecar into a roadcar.
Here is a pic with all the stickers.

I say for the porsche, yellow.

For the bimmer, paint it that multicolor paint. The one that changes colors depending on the viewing angle.

I've decided to paint the M3 gunmetal gray. I started to paint it red then I saw a pic of a gunmetal car and I loved it, so now the car is soaking in some CSC, should melt right off.

as for the GT3, I'm thinking yellow and I'm going to paint the wheels silver.

project M3 now has the final layer of paint on it and is waiting a few weeks for it to cure enough for the clear coat. Pics later on.
