I am torn as to painting it. Would you guys paint it classic Satin Black or I saw a red one that looked cool too.

That sounds like a cool project. Think about this: do you want to stick to its original version or will you be customizing anything else?

I personally like the original black. The red one makes it look like a clown car from certain angles IMO.

I always wanted to build one 1:1 scale with turbos where the machine guns are but this one will be box stock.

Therefore my obvious choice would be satin black. my2¢.
