Repaint it the original colors.
Nobody every does a good job on door iambs, door sills, kick plates, hatch
openings when you change colors.
How about that area behind your grill and inside the engine compartment?
Repaint with new colors leaves a lot to be desired.
If you were willing to pull all the windows, door panels, lock assemblies,
carpet and strip to bare metal then go ahead and change colors.
