Omar, I'm sure you might've discussed this with your buddy already, but still:

1) Colors are very subjective, just go with what you like best ) I almost pulled the plug on my E64 back in the days to make it shrilly green chrome with black bonnet/roof/trunk combo ))) Thank god I sold it before I went there.
2) Make sure you pick a good film (3M/Hexis/etc.)
3) Check if you can still polish the film every other 6-12M (I know that you can do this for non-matte films which is good practice to maintain the shine)
4) You will have to be very careful with where and how you wash your car - even a good film tends to be very cranky in the wrong hands under a high-pressure wash
5) If you get stone chips - you will notice them on the film. And unlike car paint - you can't just polish them off, you'll have to rip-off the film from the damaged area and re-apply. But I'm speaking of proper rocks at speed here, not just 0.01 mm sand dust ))
