That's the kit I'm using to do mine.... and they offer 9 colors....
If it was me, since you have such an off color, I'd look for a custom paint color to match your body.....but thats expensive....
I'd go with silver or gold....simply to make the caliper stand out. A dark green, black, and silver/gold would look good.... Red would remind people of Xmas....and several other colors would just look tacky.
Black wouldnt look good either because it wouldnt stand out....and you'd just be better served to leave it the stock color...

Cost is my limiting factor... cause i gotta pay for school

You really think thats the best pic of my car in my gallery......? That was the day that I really went nutz with the random orbital and some polish.. and wax, and everything else.... thats how i got that sick shine there

1.) I figured you would probably use the duplicolor, but I wasnt sure if money was an issue. Just wanted to make sure you had as much options or info as you can get. I can definitely relate to the money situation, my daughter will be 2 in August.
2.) It is indeed the best picture of your car in your gallery, both for the color of your ride and the angle. Your sig is cool, but like some have said, your car looks black.
3.) Red, Blue, and Yellow will look out of place/horrible on a green car with black wheels. It just doesnt blend well. Silver, Black, and Gold are the only colors I would use. Maybe white, but that's a PITA to clean....
4.) Priceless
