When that color is fresh, it pops pretty well IMHO. I would reach out to the House Of Kolor to see if they can custom mix and add some more metallic or pearl to it to give it some added pizzaz.

I would not recommend a custom color especially if you will be driving it. Also, keep away from high metallic and high pearl paint codes not only because they look horrible on older vehicles but mainly for any touchups that will need to be done in the future.

You could add a white stipe to break up the medium olive poly

I just painted mine med olive. I hope to have it back together by the end of the month, I'll post another picture once together. I think it will pop with the fresh paint.
