I know you said earlier you don't like orange, but I really like the copper- but just on top, and black on bottom. Maybe use the pearl black on bottom. Use the candy copper and you can use a gold metallic undercoat which will highlight the edges in the sunlight. Also with the candy colors you can add a logo or other design under the paint as a "ghost" image. Copper over gold looks great.

Can you tell that I like candy colors? You can play around a lot with them. You can do a number of things with base coats from white to silver or gold, or even a base coat in the same color as the top coat, but use candy top coat. It adds tons of depth. I am really liking all the choices you have laid out. You're making me want to build a painted kayak!
