Things are looking up, now i need paint opinions.

My car is a 1987 Hatch incase you didn't know, and i'm looking into paint Opinions, here's my car btw:

As you can see my paint is Dark Blue Metallic Clearcoat B-33MZ-3, however i've heard that White is the cleanest color, i personaly love black and if you knew me you'd know that. Anyway Vote for what color my 3gee should be!

P.S. the local paint shop said they'd paint it for under $700 as long as it was a stock color option. (that's why most are stock colors...)

i think the Gothic Gray Metallic Clearcoat NH-92M-3, would look good. i'd say stay away from black. i love the color on the 3gee, but if you've ever had a black car, its a bitch. gets swirl marks more easily noticeable. then again, i love how white looks on a 3gee, but it gets dirty quickly. i have 2 gold accords, even when they get really dirty you can hardly tell. same with grey and silvers, they stay nicer looking with less work. personally, i'm trying to decide what i want to do on my 3gee. for my single color paint schemes, i'm either going to go with Champagne beige which the car is already painted, Naples gold metalic same as my '02 accord, or a silver metalic i still havent decided on. if i go two tone, its going to be red and black, thats my favorite when putting two colors together. i havent had anyone give me different prices because of color codes though, all colors of paint are usually about the same price. just as long as its not a color that is pattented like House of Kolors paints. those get expensive.

hmmm. i'll have to think about that thanx honda boy!

**b8er** · 11-15-2005, 12:57 PM

i would say the metalic red colour, the se-i i just bought is the metalic red and its winter time right now so the cars kinda dirty and i just pulled the motor out but if it wasnt the paint would be all waxed up and shinny and in the sunlight the metalic in it just shines, i really like it, thats my vote

**getready** · 11-15-2005, 02:10 PM

i like the stock color. Or that "bustedblue" color, i saw his car in his thread and immediatly fell in love with that color. I want my car to be that color

**3rdgenhatchDX** · 11-29-2005, 02:20 PM

Somebody post up an accord with Gothic Gray Metallic paint...

**1320boy** · 11-29-2005, 02:34 PM

in my honest opinion i have the same color on my hatch and personaly i dont see it on other hatches.
keep it the same man trust me. its a great color.

Avoid black. It will show any imperfection in your bodywork. It's also retardedly hard to keep clean. Personally I'd keep it the same color as whatever the factory was, just to avoid having mismatched doorjambs and the lining of metal around the trunk, stuff like that.

Thats what it's meant to look like .. Very pretty colour

Burnt orange and black actually, two-tone that shit

**3rdgenhatchDX** · 12-02-2005, 06:20 AM

^ THATS WHAT I'M GONNA DO! Burnt orange was my 1st idea of color, then i thought hmmm... maybe it'd look sweet if it were black under the mouldings.... GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!

**3rdgenhatchDX** · 12-03-2005, 10:54 AM

Honda has this color it's called Tangerine Metallic

**AccordEpicenter** · 12-03-2005, 11:22 AM

normally im not a huuge fan of flashy colors but i think that color would look tits on an accord if you do it right

**3rdgenhatchDX** · 12-03-2005, 11:30 AM

what would you consider "right" i'm thinking a candy style paint, not just bland orange...

**3rdgenhatchDX** · 12-04-2005, 10:22 AM

It's dark but close enough.

**mkymonkey** · 12-04-2005, 01:41 PM

**MrBen** · 12-14-2005, 05:00 PM

The Blade Silver is the BEST silver color on 3g's. Mine was that color and I loved it. https://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=34770

**3rdgenhatchDX** · 12-16-2005, 06:26 AM

Sorry but that's way to bland for me...

**MrBen** · 12-16-2005, 01:44 PM

Then why is it an option for a paint choice if you don't like the color? Doesn't make sense.

**3rdgenhatchDX** · 12-17-2005, 11:36 AM

It's an option because of the price of paint, however since i've chosen Burnt Orange and Black i would've closed the poll options out, however i cannot close/change the poll options. Thanx for the input tho!

**Forgar_88** · 12-21-2005, 07:50 PM

Hey go with the orange and black, but do the panda thing! Then you got something really different!
