    Well, I'm getting my car painted, but what color?

    http://www.angelfire.com/comics/kyokin/mycar.html


    I was going to get a dark metalic blue, but now I'm thinking silver would be pretty sick. Or even a red. but I don't know, I'm having trouble decideing, what do you think?

    silver: your car will look like Yasu's
    changing the color on a car is more expensive, and especially if you're going from dark to a light color (red)
    just get your whole car chrome plated (bling bling)

    I think black would look badass with that body kit

    Seriously, don't paint your car. You need wheels first. If you still want to paint it, get dark blue metallic.

    Yeah, I agree.
    Get rims first. They make a huge difference and more HP too

    It looks like your green paint is still in good condition. Why were you planning to repaint it?

    I'm saying silver because you don't see that on a 3g a lot and it's not too wild but does stand out... so I think it would be a good color for a "stock+" kind of look which goes well with that kit. And dark metallic blue owns but that's the color I want to go with if I ever get a 3g again so YOU CANT HAVE IT HAHAHAHA

    I do like the other colors but when I voted I took into account your interior color I like shades of red best although Blue would work aswell Silver ......NOT

    whatever color you choose make sure it matches the color of your interior, that's very important.

    Started with a 89 Accord LXI - 96 Acura TL - 2003 Acura CL Type S..

    I really like Mike's white accord, I'm in love with the thing. But I was thinking to go black, hopefully it looks good.

    I don't know what shop you've been going to
    they have to prime the car anyways no matter what color they are changing it too, so it's like starting from the ground up when they prime it, color doesn't matter.

    and I say black even though it's not on the list
