i would say black. but then again dirt and water spots show on black. so maybe gunmetal. i like black though. my hatch was black. i got it painted at maaco. came out alright. i can post a pic of it if u want it?

the only color any honda or acura should ever be is 'championship' white. this question should never even be asked. i don't know why honda didn't make all cars this color from the factory.

to me gun metal looks better, but it's all about what you like, try and find pics of your car in both colors and decide.

ummmmm I think your talking about communism right there.


Don't paint your car gunmetal, it'll look like primer. I haven't ever seen a car pull it off

Paint it the Jeep liberty Bile green. It looks pretty cool I think. If I ever have another crx with an RS body kit It will be that color just to piss people off.

Mr. Ford wanted all his cars to be black, but you know how that turned out.

SI blue, but if you must, gunmetal.

Re:Car colour
 
How about we start spelling color right first off. Not colour, C-O-L-O-R. Sorry, that ---- just bothered me for some reason. Anyway, black is the only way to go. I have seriously been thinking about the flat black look lately, like that Silvia in SCC, that looks good.

nonvtec 03-29-2004 08:47 PM

Re:Car colour
 
That Silvia in SCC looks good because of the hella cool graphics, those would make it that much better if you went flat black IMO.

If the stealthmode world were perfect, you could paint the whole car black, but black gets too dirty.
I'm planning on going a really dark grey with black EVERYTHING else. (even the muffler) :D

j/p stealthy. i thinku should leave the hf stock paint and exhaust including the months of dust on it. that would be the ultimate stealth mode.

Its my work car and have to use it to get to customers every week so excuse the graphics on the side!

Gezz people. Go take a 5th grade English class. It's more correct. If you're going to correct someone use correct english in your own sentences. BAHH!!!

If anyone cares i'm going to spray my car flat black and my wheels black with clearcoat. I think it will look cool.
