Post Opinions needed

Well, i am tring decide what to do about paint on my truck. The cab needs to be replaced because of alot of windshield frame rot, so it will be needing a paint job if i want it to be one color. The truck is Ochre right now, and the paint is OK in quality, but i have found a big patch of bondo (not sure how thick) on one of the bedsides, and i want to sand it down to see what i am dealing with. Anyway, i am torn between keeping it the original ochre color (which i like OK) or painting it a dark metallic green color (kind of like hunter green). If i paint it green, the side trim will come off, but the Custom/10 and 8/350 emblems will stay. So, should i keep it original, or put a different color on it?
