if you are doing the painting get a bunch of different colors and see which one you like the best. plastidip comes off very easy if you don't like it. i have seen green pink black white. ( not on a G tho). everyone has their own taste.

if you are not painting them ur self, you should its really easy.

I mean it already looks awesome but you may consider staying in the monochrome colors... Anything bright is fragrant, "I need attention."

Honestly it looks sexy as it is. I wouldn't change the colour.
