which color to paint my car

  

live2rice -> which color to paint my car (5/23/2008 8:32:48 PM)

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

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.

live2rice -> RE: which color to paint my car (5/24/2008 9:50:26 AM)

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

kahnvict850 -> RE: which color to paint my car (5/24/2008 10:01:23 AM)

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

ziggy!talon -> RE: which color to paint my car (5/24/2008 11:18:18 AM)

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:

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