If I was going to paint my car I will get a totally different color than the ones that originally come with the cars, like maybe candy apple red, etc...

That will look great and totally different than the rest.

Is this a car you plan to keep for a while? I would think a completely different re-spray would affect re-sale value...either way, like some others said, something unique would be better.

This.

No one wants a white car with a red engine bay/door jambs. Unless you are going to do it right and go all out, or you plan on keeping the car a long time, don't do it.

was planning on it being in pieces for 1-2 weeks getting it painted right...
Only reason i am looking into getting a different color(white thought about some kind of blue or burnt orange) is black shows everything and its painful looking at it and its hot as balls in the summer. o.O
