I believe black was the factory color for all models, but for a race car =
I=E2=80=99m a big fan of a lighter color.  Mine are always just =
rustoleum gray (boring) but the benefit is it is easy to see oil leaks, =
see what you are working on in poor light, etc.  any of the colors you =
suggest would be way  better than black for this purpose.  I will say =
that rustoleum holds up real well to heat, doesn=E2=80=99t need perfect =
surface prep, etc.
