what is the difference in their red paint. is it the same or are they different shades. I am thinking about putting 2000 si skirts on my hatch and need to know if the color will match or not. thanks.

Same color - Milano Red.

...but I doubt it will match perfectly unless you've had a recent paintjob and they matched the factory color well.

Milano Red fades over time...

BlackNoise

tell me about it..thanks.

is there colors that DON'T FADE?? seriously not being an *** or something, i just know nothing about paint jobs

well....if you have a Milano Red hatch...you will see exactly what he's talking about. Mine has stayed fairly decent...but my bumpers faded way different;y than the rest of the car. With a very good detail job, it might be close enough

Not really, but Red is probably the worst color to show differences in a faded color vs. the non-faded version.

Colors such as white don't show fading nearly as bad. Faded white in pictures will look about as good as the fresh paint, but Red is a non forgiving color in that sense.

Red's also really good at showing if a shop can or cannot color match well.

Yeah, that's why they say white is the best color to have in Florida, since the sun doesn't effect it as much as other colors.

On Milano Red. My **** faded so bad before my paint job I had pink bumper covers. The only reason I didn't completely change the color is because I didn't want to pull everything out of the car to do it right.

BTW, will the 2K skirts fit an EH?

B18C5-EH2

Yes the 1996-2000 Coupe and/or hatchback skirts will fit the 1992-1995 civic AFTER trimming some length off of them...

There was a great thread about this a while bacjk, and I'm sure someone will link it soon...
