Color scheme opinions

I have been pulling my hair out trying to nail down the color choice. So far, I have not seen a '40 that did not look good, but I hope to only paint once.

I had planned the usual Gulf scheme. That is still high on the list. But as my car is a bit unconventional, it feels a bit odd. Plus, I am not sure how I will feel about the toothpaste blue down the road. I do want to paint the car in a "racecar" way, if that makes any sense, so I have been trying out some different color and stripe ideas. Most our based on the silver, blue, and red of our family crest. But they are difficult to visualize as I don't have a car to stare at. Any opinions or impressions would be greatly appreciated.
