painting it any other color than the factory choice is bad JuJu. proceed at your own risk.
I don't know sh1t about paint and colours are very subjective. That said only 2 colours came single stage (no clear coat to peel off) and those were white (045) and Black (202). Logically to me only those 2 colours matter.

I want to stick with a factory color. Black is out to hard to keep clean and white is out because life is short. currently my 80 is a color I believe is called Moonglow. Its a 97. The other one is a 93 and its a kind of grey color.
White. Only white.
Moonglow or the dark blue. I think it's called Nightshadow pearl. That's my favorite color.

045
Moonglow is a good color. The original single stage 045 White lasts a very long time, no clear coat to fade or discolor, just keep it polished.
If you wanted to try something different, look at the Limited Edition Blue Marlin 80 series, was sold only in Austraila as a Blue Marlin package.

045 white, with accents of dirt and mud.
Green, always green! The finest LC color!
If you have Moonglow, you have the best color, period (in my opinion at least). I bought a new door handle and got the only color that was in stock at the time. Since it was "gray" I assumed they were no longer sold as color matched and it would be primer gray. Nope, came in moonglow. My wife asked if I was just going to paint it white. I said nope, I will by a truck this color to match before I paint this door handle. White is the last color I wanted, they are all white, but what did I do, I bought a white truck. It was chalky flat white, but it buffed out. I don't know what that single stage white is made of, but it's probably illegal now.
