I would paint it black with 2 blue lines over the top of the body and silver around the windows.

Lose the candy purple. I got to stare at a half dozen orange/purple/white/ silver cars last month.
I don't know why that scheme is so popular it usually comes out boring.
Stick with the orange or floresent orange back it up with floresent white outline the windows in black.
Paint the bed outlaw black. Bottom inch of the sides of the body outlaw black then an orange stripe then silver stripe then orange on top (except for windows and bed).
I saw this scheme with different colors and it was pretty clean.

I say "Barbie Corvette Pink" with Hello Kitty stickers all over it. Are you fast enough to drive a pink car?

How good is your vision? Purple and silver look really good together... but they're dark, not very visible from 50-100' away. I can't "visualize" purple and orange... but then again, I used to run yellow with purple.
Purple "faded" to silver looks great- I used to do that on the graphics part on my cars.
Here's where you get into problems: If the orange is a flourescent color, it NEEDS white behind it to make the color "pop." If you back it with silver it will be a little darker, almost "muddy."
You might consider something like you described (purple front/silver back) but "fade" the purple- spray it first, heavier at the front and gradually lighter as you go back. Then go back and spray it ALL with the silver. (of course if you want some orange "accents" on there, tape those off and spray it after the silver is dry.)
Or maybe silver on top, purple on the bottom, with a orange "zig-zag" like a lightening bolt down the sides separating the 2 colors... or not, you can fade it that way too.
The possibilities are endless. BTW I'm a huge fan of obnoxious paint jobs, and for that matter bodies. See pics. lol
