I'm leaning towards the gun metal,since you have black and red trim,blue may have you thinking about repainting the trim later

I am leaning toward the blue.  But I do want to keep the black sport trim.  So that is a consideration too.

you have red trim correct? If you go blue why not keep the black trim and paint the red stripes a darker metallic blue,just a thought

Yes, the red trim could be changed.  Hmmmmmmmmm, a darker blue??? Have to ponder that.  I am not too good matching complementary colors.
