Color choice for EG HB
A friend and I are trying to decide what color to paint his HB. Right now it is the stock charcoal grey. We are trying to decide on a different color though. Help us decide....

Re: Color choice for EG HB (JDM_EJ)
My car will be done getting the complete color change this coming Tuesday. If you're changing clors, do it RIGHT and tear the ENTIRE car apart. That's what I did. Had to cut out the rear glass, take out the engine/tranny/EVERYTHING under the hood, ALL the interior including the dash, headliner, etc.
My car's getting done in Vogue Silver metallic - an O.E Honda color that came on various Civics and Integras from like 1998-2000. It's a bad-*** silver that still is O.E and it's not too flashy.
I like the supersonic blue/purple, but it's too loud for my taste. I could have had literally ANY color and I chose Vogue Silver because it's O.E and bad-*** and npt too flashy.

the silver that comes on VW golfs and jettas is the finest silver i've seen yet. Very fine mica(metal flake), lights up awsome in sun and overcast days!

Gunmetallic! The same one that comes on the IS300. I want to paint my ITR that color, so it would match my rims.

Re: Color choice for EG HB (RedHatch)
HELL NO I am NOT show!
The car I bought was poo poo-red from Maaco, so I thought i'd get a bad-*** O.E color when I got it repainted. I already had a B18C5 to go in it, so the engine had to come out. I was already going to take out the interior, so it was out.
Logically I figured while MOSt of the stuff was out I'd just get a total color change at a better-than-O.E job too. PLUS there's WAY too many RED hatches in my area - I don't want to be confused with anybody else
If the guy can't do the total color change right, I'd just keep it O.E Phantom Grey - that color is DOPE!

Re: Color choice for EG HB (fowler_yo!)
the new Acura TLs and CLs have a really nice deep blue color. But I agree, If you can't do a total re-paint just stick with the stock color.
well, with the Phantom Grey, you may be able to get away with black...

Re: Color choice for EG HB (B18C5-EH2)
I agree with B18C5-EH2, if you can't do the complete color change, stick with the stock color...besides the charcoal is sweet! I wish I could change my black Sol to that color...
Or Electron Blue Pearl?
