Paint it yellow with splotches of red, white, and light blue to match the colors of parking lot curbs.

I would either paint it flat black or the same color thats on the nismo 350z. which i believe is gun metallic. If you paint the whole thing one color it looks really bad imo..

Assuming your car is white... the whole bumper painted to match the body color looks pretty cool and different than most Z's. Do it!

I can't find a pic but I think I've only seen 1 "V3" that was all-white, I thought it looked decent, but I'd rather have 2-tone like OEM. Sorry I cannot currently find a pic.

The factory color is K11 BTW.
