Default New Paint Color?

The clear coat on my jeep is peeling off real bad so i think it is time for a new paint job. I am thinking about painting it orange. My bother recently painted his subaru orange and has enough left over paint to do my jeep.
here is a picture of the orange i am thinking of painting it:


I would paint it this orange and all the trim, mirrors, fenders, bumper will be black.

What do you guys think?

That is sweet! Looks better on the XJ than it did on the Subie. Black trim really sets it off!
