spraying an e30 in a non BMW colour?

I was going to spray my e30 Techno/Daytona Violet, but there are a lot of other metallic/pearescent (sp?) purple type colours out there.

So is it wrongness to use a non BMW colour on an e30?

Simple yes/no poll for ya's all.

personal choice mate, id paint an e30 in a colour if it suited it even if it wasnt a bmw colour,
ive got a compact now in techno violet & it looks great when all polished up, ive also got an mr2 in aqua marine & that really suits the mr2 but would look crap on an e30
