It may have been a little darker than what I was going for . sorry about that. Hope it helped a little anyway ;)
May I make a color suggestion ! A nice sparkly silver would look cool on that =P

How about black and yellow! Reverse of the GTS VS. Nice Black with yellow inserts in the grille and along the side skirts etc. And then perhaps a yellow insert in that middle section of each spoke on the alloys. That would look insane. in my eyes

That grey is a little dark, doesn't suit the black wheels. Either gold wheels or chrome.

I've always preferred primary colours myself with some tasteful graphics or stripes on some vehicles. That ute needs to be the brightest red you can achieve with bigarsed gold stripes right across the top from one end to the other and wheels to match the stripes. Judicious use of matt black areas to emphasise window apertures and other body features and subtly change some lines can give individuality for very little effort. Just sayin'.

No wait, hold the matt black and go with a charcoal gray matt texture finish in a few strategic places.

You're offending my muse now. All my best cars have been red ones. My MkI Cortina, my Jag with the 327. Mutter mutter. Actually, I'm a bit of a rarity. A painter who doesn't prefer metallics and pearls. Candy on the other hand.

Metallic blue. Dark or light.
The black wheels don't do it any favours.

There's a dark charcoal that looks really good against (when juxtaposed if you want to be highbrow) a bright, clean primary colour. I used it when I painted my old LN61 Surf (red of course) on the wheel arch flares with a nice texture. Dead classy it was.

I would revisit the silver option, have seen pics of an anglia (from a poster on here, dunno if he wants his name mentioned though.) was silver with black bits, get the balance right can look pretty sharp. I think black rims can look good with the right colour, would be interesting to see ute in a deep deepmaroon with those rims.

I like the atomic colour myself but not having the buldgy bits on your ute the same as the car may make a small difference. It works well on the car. As long as its not a "hero" colour go for it.
