opinions are welcome: what solid color for this body ?

some ago I bought this used 3 colors body, it was cheap becaise the owner made some mess with the neck holes and the paint, actually it sanded it making it flat.

I restored the holes, made some wood work on the back, found a maple neck with rosewood fingerboard , my idea is a HSS setup with a vintage trem.

Question, since this sunburst is not beautiful as it looks in the picture, there is a nasty nuance I don't like at all, I thought I could spray over it with a solid color....

Opinions on body color and pickguard color are welcome, thank you

- All black: body, pickguard, hardware, everything.
- Gold hardware, yellow body, white pickguard & pickups, but this looks better combined with a maple fretboard.
- Chrome hardware, red body, white pickguard and pickups. Never had a red guitar, I'd go with this :-)

Make it look like David Gilmour's Black Strat except have the bridge humbucker be zebra

I'd like the idea since I have a zebra HB around, but the fingerboard will be rosewwod, to much black I think, the gilmour strat has at least some clear maple neck, but I count a vote for black.

There would be some metalized color too they could be interesting, I've seen in the shop a metallic bronze, I don't remember I've ever seen a bronze guitar for example
