If those are your options I'd go w/ blaze orange metallic, it looks pretty hot on the fit. But I recommend arctic blue pearl just like the euro-R

I cannot stand black cars, Black hides all your cars body lines, is near impossible to keep clean, and shows swirl marks in sunlight like crazy.

Noone is suggesting Midori? I thought it would look sick on an RSX. It does on just about anything else

Default Re: What color to paint my car?

First off, what is your current color right now? If you are going to spend the money on fully re-painting your car, why would you get a stock color? The only color I can see being justified for a re-paint is Milano Red because it's a beautiful color red.

Can you post up sample colors of the others? I have never seen them....i think

But going by what I think they look like....MIDNIGHT PURPLE for sure. Now that is a cool color. I believe I've seen it on a Porsche or older Honda

You can always murder it out. Hot Rod black is the way to go, either that or kawasaki green.

i would say MIDNIGHT PURPLE since i dont see them that much but alil out range tho, but i would go with the j green color. the other is the red. That red would catch the eye of the camera really good. would look sick tho. iono wah color the real name of the red but heres a pic of the red on a rsx.
