I'd do it all arden blue, or arden blue and silver, i think black'll be too harsh.
You idea sounds good, but i think the silver bits will look tacky and it'll be too many colours.

as said by hayley either combo silver bits will look too max power and an unessecary assault on the senses.

stick to 2 colours that work well together

black will help with glare off the top of it!

similar idea on mine - top half is blue bottom half is silver - both custom made colours - same as my respray.

Its been left un laqured - so it looks like its in a matt finish - which means no glare. Iv also had the texture left on the dash - the orange peel - i didnt fancy it smoothed + wld have been more work....

ne way heres some pics of mine
