Gona paint my car? Can't choose which yellow

Hello All, so I've been browsing this website for a while now.. So here's my situation. I have a Dark Graphite 2004 G35 coupe. It got keyed up maybe full year ago. My company Advanced Wheel Repair here in San Francisco decided to build up it's fleet and bought a couple of Minivans and painted them Totota FJ Cruiser Yellow. My boss said he would pay for my paint job but is limiting my budget to $1000 and any shade of yellow or blue I choose. Although That FJ cruiser yellow is bright as hell and grabs a whole lot of attention like he wanted, it's too orange for me. I figured blue was too common so I'm swayed towards yellow. I've looked for yellows all over the place and I have gotten it down to two.. Either Rally Yellow from the Camaro or Velocity Yellow from the Corvette. My other yellows which i've eliminated were ferraris yellow, honda S2000 yellow, Isuzu Vehicross yellow, FJ cruiser yellow, plymoth prowler yellow. As for the Blues I only like the 350Z blue and the Blue from the Yamaha R1. So please please G35driver.com DECIDE WHAT COLOR I'm going to paint my car. I will post pics of the different yellows and blues! Please vote! HELP!

everything
That laguna seca blue looks nasty as hell, it lacks depth. Looks like the pastel color ricers paint their civics. Get a metallic or pearlescent basecoat

Why can you only have blue or yellow? If youre able to choose any blue or yellow basecoat you want, why arent you able to choose any color base? Makes absolutely no sense to me. And if the yellow is too bright he used on the minivans why not just add some tint to the paint to darken it up?

However, I'm not sure that it would look very good on a G35 Coupe, as curvy cars deserve colors that accentuate variations.

Without the stripes:


Or:


But, if you must go yellow, I suggest BMW's Phoenix Yellow:
