Both those last ideas are really good, thanks!

Damn I love the look of those 5th gen Accords!!!! If only they had some *****, but they suck it hard in the performance department...

Keep 'em coming, every post is as constructive as the last!!

Thanks!!

 

i got the whole job on my car done for 2,500 (US currancy) that included all my body work, putting on my kit and painting it... its 2 coats of primer, 5 coats of base, and 3 coats of clear coat. i wanted to get a pearl but i didnt have the funds. i still think my (our car) tooks so nasty with that kit on it, even though i got shafted when i baught it for 1,300... but hey thats the price you pay for the tres... and to protegeDX that colour does look pritty good. i always thought jet black 323s with tinted out windows looks cool(i saw a kivik with a white mesh on his kit, looked good with the black)

 

Damn!!! that's bloody cheap!!!! If I can find a place that'll do it for that price around here, there'll be enuff for some NOS too.... hmmmmmmmmmm

 

Porshe blue

 

Which one? There are LOTS.

 

I gotta get pics of it. it looks real dark almost purple at night and deep blue in the sun. its on my buddies car

 

Soundz good! Dark is good!

 

Any pics yet?

 

I found some. Porche, btw, has 3 shades of blue. Midnight Blue Metallic, Lapis Blue Metallic, and Cobalt Blue Metallic.

Lapis Blue Metallic

Cobalt Blue Metallic

 

I like the Cobalt blue better than all the rest ot there blues'.

 

The bottom pic is the color. Kinda changes color in different lights ..Jon 93 lx

 

I was going to vote for red, but only if it's a nice, deep, wine-color. Maybe with some flake to it. Mmmmmm.... I wish I had a good example, but take a nice red wine, add some sparkle, and there you go. It looks good with a tan interior, and it doesn't look like a friggin traffic cone (aka that one I saw at Carlisle this year).

 

If I change to blue, I'll might go with the Lapis Blue.

Otherwise, Ferrari Silver -- I'm picturing this sort of color scheme:

only with more red in the interior (door panels and seats in red and black, black carpert).. That silver is the same as the s2000 and I know of a shop near me that does an amazing job of it... What do you all think of this idea?

Otherwise, I'd go with a darker red with a metal flake in it (like maybe Saab Merlot red, or 98-up Honda Milano red).

Then again, the consensus seems to be (and it's not a bad idea...) that I should keep the money for the turbo. Thing is, I need a back bumper and I have to re-paint the front kit, so economically, I might as well re-paint the whole car at the same time so I don't pay for painting the bumpers twice....

By the way, pro5girlie, please enter your vote for red on the poll, so I remeber to take it into account.

It's not that I'm going to base my decision solely on what you all like best, but then again, if I'm building a show car, I won't paint it a color that only I like.... It has to be fashionable, so I'm counting on you guys as my market for research .

Oh, and correct me if I'm wrong, but under other, so far there's blue and silver, right?

One last thing..... I thought of installing a VW Corrado speed adjustable wing while I was at it with the bodywork.... hmmm...

Thanks.

 

I love that Honda Milano Red. I'm thinking of painting my car that color. I think it would look nice.

 

I was gonna paint my pro s2000 silver (hides the dings and scratches better )!. But i like that blue also .. Got a pic of the VW wing?...Jon 93 lx
