    IMO you either keep it original color, or do a 2 tone job that does not have like candy type paint.

    Re: what colla

    yeah, candy paint is just plain shit unless you garage keep it and dont let it sit outside too often. make sure you use a paint system that's going to last more than a few years. the subaru blue pearl is really nice. i'm in favor of that color myself. red upper and black lower was how i wanted to paint my car, but red wasnt reccomended by my body shop teacher. make sure you do some test base and top coats so you get your color right. i dunno how much body and paint work you have experience with. but if you do it right it will turn out really nice with whatever color you do decide to go with.
    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

    It's been done on show cars before, though. I couldn't live with myself if I had a completely chrome car.

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    Re: what colla

    well depending on what color you lay as the base coat will change the shade of the color you pick. as for the red, it was harder to get completely correct and has a higher fade rate and shows swirl marks fairly quickly, but so does black. but subaru blue is hot. my friends impreza is that color.

    Re: what colla

    cah like do you think about the dumb ass shit you say some times?
    like seriously? pink and limegreen? wtf? you was watching a vw comericial werent you.
    any way im ganna get off your ass before i something mean.
    i decided to do that wr blue with a yello base instead of a white i thik it would make that blue pop a lil more and then when you move around it would look yellow some times.
    im ganna mold the bumpers so i dont have all them damn gaps. and i havent decieded on the shaving the tags yet.
    i was thinking something marble i saw what your sopposed to do but it seemed like its almost idiot proof if you take your time so cah if your reading this buddy go get sum paint thinner and ceran wrapp dip it in the thinner and put it on your car it shoul work cuz hte ripples in the wrapp should give it that look. tell me what you think.

    i hope i get my car tommerow man. till then guys
    kepp it gully eep it reall and fuck the posers and haters
