Default Daytona blue on a 370?

Has anyone considered or actually gone and painted their 370z the Daytona blue that the 350z has? I've been thinking about it but I'm not sure if will look ok on the car. I'm sure it won't look too terrible of at all but I just wanna see what it looks like before I go through with it. Besides it being a $2300 paint job this 370 is my baby and I would hate to make her look stupid. If the blue is a no-go then I was thinking about a gun metal grey. Nothing metallic or reflective almost a matte grey. Suggestions?

Maybe requesting a ps from a member to see how it looks in the Photo Shop thread would help
