Absolutely. Make it yours and make it scream. For my money, the only reason to reproduce the original color is if you are going to build a 100 point original car for big time shows. Of course, you would then be afraid to drive it. Some day, hopefully many years down the road, the next owner can paint it the original color. The only rule I am following is to not do anything to alter the sheet metal. The paint is Mazda Merlot Mica and it screams. The engine is Daytona Yellow in a black engine bay. It screams, too.
