which color to paint my car

A oppertunity arose where I can have my car professionally painted for the price of the paint.  So needless to say i am going to take advantage of this offer.  So I need help deciding what color to paint it.  Here are my top 3 choices






let me know what you think

I like the color onthe nsx.. Its like the diamond graphite metallic on the g35's


Ive always liked Ivory pearl also...

yeah i usually like white(yes i called it white).  But I want something not stock because i'm sick of seeing 100 accords the same color as mine. 
 
But I also dont want something really flashy like neon green or construction truck orange. 
 
altho the blue is an accord blue, but not offered in the US

Well look around at rarer, higher priced cars like Porsches, Lambos, Ferraris, and Vipers and see if any color stands out. If one does, just call the dealership and get the paint code. This way your Accord will definately be a different than any other!!!!! Hell i got my paint code off of an '05 Viper i saw in a showroom at the Dodge dealership.

BLAH!
NO CHAMPAGNE OR GOLD!
 
I LOVE burnt orange and orange copper colored cars with metal flakes.
 
Check out the copper metallic Viper (looks amazing! A person in my town has one) , or the slightly darker (my friend had one a few years ago) burnt copper metallic Jeep Wrangler.  I think that color would go well with your hyperblack? rims.
I also like Chevys dark yellow they painted on Cavaliers.
The blue you have looks nice as well.
Charcoal grays and silvers are nice as well.

And J_man ever since you said that I now can totally see the Viper color!
I talked to a guy at a local car show who had a Special Edition Viper w/ various manufactor options that was thee exact same color as yours!  It only took him 3 years to save up for the SPECIAL EDITION Viper

out of your three, i would say blue, except imo make it a little brighter blue, like a more metallic-y version of the blue STI.

my personal favorite car color is orange. theres nothing better than a nicely painted bright orange car.

ive always been more a fan of this style: http://istargazer.ca/sti/rally_armor/sti-cherry.jpg

little brighter. like if you could get the shiny-ness of that accord combined with the brightness of that sti.

but thats just my opinion, the darker looks good too. still better than my puke-tan colored car

I think i am leaning towards the blue.  It was offered on the Accord SIR-T and the European Prelude.  But what makes me not want to get it is it is offered on the US CRV. 

after searching for litterally a hour and a half I have the name and paint code(damn not being able to find information on EDM/JDM cars)

heres a prelude in the color

That blue is gorgeous, but I'm a little biases as blue is my favorite color. I'm not gonna lie, I like the S2k CR blue and the NSX blue.




S2k could be a little darker and more metallic in it.

yeah i hear ya, i considered the NSX blue, and the CR blue is a little too light for me. 

But i'm like 95% sure on the dark blue of the first accord SIR i posted. 

I just have to order a new front bumper and possibly a spoiler before he paints it.  I'll keep you guys posted

go with the blue, but my fav color is blue as well, so i am a little biased.

i really like the color that came on my accord, it's like metallic silver i beleive (dont know the actual name from honda) but it looks different colers under different light...i'll show you pics so you can see what i mean.

in broad daylight it's definitely silver:


near dusk it's almost a light bluish silver:








 
 
 
and even closer to dusk it looks really bluish:

I've always been fond of the late 90's civic si "electron blue".  I think that is what it was called.  Awesome color.

kahnvict's blue 5th gen FTW! I saw one on the road the other day and it was gorgeous. Definitely a rarity.

its electron blue pearl, and the color i am getting is close to that but a little darker. 

I like pepsi blue... like the evo's... and also the mazda 3 blue... is sooo cool....

The blue isn't bad...

I love graphite, the darker the better.. with some shiny specks in it...
Almost black, but really just a dark shade of grey... when people see it they'll double take cuz they aren't sure if it's that color or not...

"oh... oh wait, it is.. and damn it looks good"

I have the perfect color for your Paint Job...take a good look at this Paint Job

It's amazing how popular that burnt orange is out here.  So many 60's/70's pick ups wtih that burnt orange color.  Never really noticed it until as of late.
