Keep or change paint color?

Gonna do some bodywork soon on the convertible, then comes the paint.
Its maroon with matching interior, but I'm probably gonna change the color. The red interior looks good with many finishes. I'm leaning towards white exterior/red interior with a white top - creampuff for sure.
Just thinking out loud, but what color/top/interior combo do you prefer?

You can't beat red with a white top in my book.

Love the colour as is!
Is that the original colour and interior combo as per trim codes?
Looks the goods.

Maroon is a great color; wouldn't change it.

Yeah, I agree - maroon kinda kicks butt.

Keep it.

I'm not a big fan of white, unless I'm covering up poor body work. White hides a myriad of sins. With red interior I like maroon, red of some shade anyway or black, maybe.

Yeah, maroon exterior/red interior/white top is the factory combo - not my fav.
I was originally thinking blk paint/red interior/black top, blackwall tires, 455ci badges. More badass businesslike, not so much of a creampuff. Its got the big motor, so why not?
Its a toss between all blk w/red interior or all white w/red interior for now.
Decisions, decisions - a good problem to have!

I much prefer the black with red interior, on many models, but the car has to be laser straight. Ca-ching, ca-ching, the cash register went....
