How old is this car? As above, red/white is probably the biggest crowd pleaser. However, I prefer something a little more subtle on 60s cars.. 70s cars should be pretty garish (limeflower, Aqua etc), 80s were generally understated (dark grey metallic etc) and 90s brg/ black etc! :D

All personal opinion though, paint it whatever you fancy!

Yes red with black roof all ways look nice but the more retro colours are nice as well

with a grey interior you could pretty much do what you like - if it was me, as much as i love the classic colour combos, I'd have to do something funky!!

White with thin coloured coach lines and everything chromed, but im obviously bias'd lol.

look around and see what colours are rare on your model from factory. Mines a sidewalk and nearly all were kingfisher blue so charcoal and diamond white are hard to come by, its a good selling point
