After looking at many differant colors when I was painting my car, I decided I liked white best for our cars. Pearl white would look sweet, but it's more expensive and harder to put on (in other words, no cheap painting placesif your going with a pearl paint). I never really liked black until I saw Coroncho80's SEI, and dark silver I don't mind either. But overall, if you can afford it and get it done right, I'd choose a pearl white because you never see 3gs in that color, and it looks really nice.

Here you go, keep it Honda style. This is just my opinion, if you do white. Go with JDM Integra Type R white. Personally im kinda fond of the Honda S2000 metallic silver(This is what color I was gonna do mine, until i came up with a theme to my 3G). Just to let you know ahead of time when the light hits the Si blue which is Electric blue(I think), it tends to look a completely different blue. Same with the S2000 silver. it tends to look a whole lot darker as the sun sets. I was thinking about doing mine in Electric blue, but i figured I wouldnt do it till Phase 2(Thats when the major ammo hits the streets). But I must agree, white does look really good on the 3rd gen. ITR white. Heres my question, are you putting rims on it, because that does affect your paint job alot? What other kinda exxterior parts are going to be changed as well? Fill us in on your complete body mods. Then, ask our opinion because its easier to picture the complete plan. Well at least it is to me.:smokin:

i saw a maaco pearl white paint job on an older rx-7 turbo 2 in a-t-l that looked so good i wanted to hump it... NOTE: when i saw it, it had just came out of the paint booth, still had some masking on it

Si blue is damn sweet, but wasn't an option. I'd do that if I had the money. Other than that I agree with 88accordGSR, go with a pure white. It'd look killer!

I'd say Pearl white. Better yet add a blue pearl in it!

i would say white or black because, as much as i don't like white cars, both of those colors look really clean on our cars. don't do dark silver because i think that color makes our cars look even older. and why is this in the Pictures forum?

I voted for dark silver... but I think a Metallic Gunmetal Grey/Diamond Mist (like the old 280z's) would work really well on a 3gen no matter what it is. I LOVE gunmetal greys and similar colors, and it doesn't stand out too much so cops arent going to profile you for having a crazy color like neon green, lemon yellow, or sky blue (nothing against those colors though, i personally like them a lot).

But I really like white too... that's what I have.
