I'm no expert on bodyshell painting - what I would say though is that if all you have are cans, a single colour or something very simple (racing stripes of some sort) can look really nice on the ZX-5, it's such an elegant, slim body. I run all my cars in single colour yellow and it actually looks more individual than the multi-colour cars that most people have now.
And I would also get some velcro for the shell and not bother cutting the holes for the body posts. They are a right pain to use. Also cut the shell a few mm below the bottom cut line to start with because there is not much room for the wiring and some larger electronics.
