 Colour coding

Ok guys, well after speaking to a spray painter and seeing his van, I've gone off the Titanium Grey colour I'd liked the look of before.
The colour I've chosen is white...very white. As it stands, I've already removed the bump strips along the side of the car. The front and rear bumpers are going to be body colour also.
The surround for the headlight on that front panel, and the headlight washer nozzle are staying black. I'm not sure what I'm going to do in regards to the door handle, the mirrors and the rear vent. Originally I was going to colour code them, but the more I think about it getting them done is going to be a pain in the arse and it might be nice to have a little constasting black on the body.
I'm open to opinions, I know not everyone agrees with the way I'm doing it so far, but I'm keen for your input on the colour coding 
Thanks,
Natan

being totaly honest i hate white its the plainist of plain colours at least a light grey or even dark blue but i guess it depends on your budget and at the end of the day your car your colour but i think grey would complent the stuff you leave black more.
im a green man myself

I was discussing paints with this dude, asking how strong the paint was. He suggested this stuff, it only comes in black or white. I was a bit dubious as these sort of paints are usually a bit ugly. Went and looked at his van which was sprayed in it, and it was SOOOO bright. You could barely look at it in direct sun and the other side was like a white mirror.
Then I found out the price was $170 for 7.5l and I couldn't go wrong. Cheaper than the acrylic I was looking at and tougher too!

i think it would be ok for white bits,
BUT do not paint the wing or the black b-pillar panel or the mirrors
otherwise it'll end up like that all white supra on celicasupra.com  :-

So you reckon I should leave those few things black? Could you point me in the direction of the white Supra you mean?

I think all white looks really good as long as you have nice dark windows.
That's what I've gone for with my AW-11.

i think you will need the kit to get away with it.
The black breaks it up a bit. And esp don't colour code your rear wing....on other thoughts you can't
