All aesthetic considerations aside, repainting the car (specially a different color) will adversly affect the resale value of the vehicle down the line. This, however, might not be a consideration for you if you "plan to keep it forever".

There are numerous reasons that wouldnt be a consideration for people in addition to keeping it forever.

I'm sure that you are right, but I'm still of the opinion (and the general consensus is) that a re-painted car is less desirable than one with it's original finish. All things being equal, of course.
Not telling anyone what to do with their toy mind you, but the man asked so I opined .

Actually, now that I look at it, I would just try painting the mirrors and part of the spoiler and maybe a decal on the side. You could do VO, red, blue, or whatever color floats your boat. JUST TRY IT BEFORE PAINTING YOUR WHOLE CAR. YOU MIGHT LOVE IT!!!
Here is a Porsche example

Well? Try other colors before painting the whole car. Yellow, or blue might be fun.
