I've been wondering the same question with mine. I was thinking maybe paint the black parts IBM and the silver parts white to go with the body/stripes set up.

I am leaning towards the black being painted IBM and leaving the silver alone.

That would look decent. I have white striped so that is why I'd go IBM/white combo
