if you ever plan on trading it in or selling it then you defiantly shouldnt paint it..
i do like the color though, in fact that shade of blue is my favorite;however, i couldnt picture it on a gxp unless you really shine the wheels and exhaust up or something

Try owning a black one. What a PITA to keep clean but when it's clean...dayum! Get yourself a California Car Duster so you can just take off the dust particles that accumulate day to day

Dirt roads with 20's would suck even more. I live in Milwaukee and the stock 18's give me hell on the crappy paved roads here. I would want to shoot myself with 20's on a dirt road.
