Dontoh

Hey guys, first post here; here's some quick info. My name is Dontoh, I'm living in central New York (45 min from Syracuse), bought a 95 Hatch about a month and damnnn did it need work.

I've done most of it myself (lights, missing screws, washers bolts etc) but I wanna blow some paint on it. I basically go to school in a body shop so money isn't a problem since it'll be free. The problem is, I've got NO idea what I want to do. At first, I wanted to do a solid black and powder coat my rims with red beauty trim. The interior would have a clean JDM look, all black with minor red things (floor mats, shift ****/boot, etc)

I liked it for a bit, but there were too many ifs and buts, since a CF hood coming and smoked taillights don't stand out as much as I'd like on black. We paint a chevy blazer today, it was two tone (pearl white and this nice gold) I didn't catch the name of the gold but what would ya think about the same idea except instead of red, gold.

The car



The blazer



Welding helmet I painted, was considering this color aswell

metalics arent usually a big fan fave on hondas. i would personally look at OEM colors and maybe modify it with a pearl mix or something.

josiah965

you should stick with black n red! its my "theme" too

I'm partial to pearl white as it's pretty easy to clean and maintain. My friend's RSX is some pearl blackish looking paint (OEM?) and goddamn is it sexy. Perfect black and blue sparkle but it is an absolute bitch to keep clean.

night hawk black pearl is sick

Dontoh

egsleeper -ye, gotta admit I think yer right. hondas are too clean to throw metallics in, gotta start spittin this rice out haha

josiah -I love the black and red. I'd love to have a nice clean jdm lookin interior but damn I'm just sick of seeing black and red, I know it's a bit contradicting but seriously haha. they're nice colors, but unless you have a bright red, or a type of burgundy that you can really make look crisp and stand out I just don't think it's worth it.

boggie & box -gunna look up some pearl colors and see if there are any unique oem colors that'd look good. it's gotta be unique enough to turn heads, but common enough to find parts without having to paint everything I buy

Dontoh

this is a great color (stolen from NOFX's thread)

Burning Red Pearl
Cayenne Red Pearl


Milano Red

My brother just started his motor bay today, Titan orange, It changes from bronze to a golden orange. I love the blazer color.

Is that gravel guard on the bottom of that blazer door?(AKA rocker slopper).
I painted a bowling ball that purple color before.

Dontoh

damn dude that's a really nice color. I wish I could see it, wonder how noticeable the color change is in the sun. and yeah the blazer is awesome haha, he's putting a purple pin stripe and I'm trying to talk him into putting a texas longhorns logo on the hood. it's gunna be such a joke when its done lol

Dontoh

don't think there's a gravel guard on the blazer. but damn I gotta find a nice color. I'm so in love with the gold, but I'm also into interior lights and underglow for show, and gold lights? gimme a break lol

speedym3

You could do white neons. They match every color but NO to the decals

ShinyNewPenny

I'm diggin' the black and red feel. I plan on something similar to that on my hatch, just have other priorities right now. Love the Strange Music rep btw.

Dontoh

yeah dude, that's a good idea actually. like jeeze, that made my day, was getting so frustrated cuz I'd have to paint it something other than gold cuz of it haha. white would look hot. I think LEDGLOW.com has 3mil color ones I could pick up anyway. thanks a lot..

but for real, anyone really liking the gold and black?

jdmwojo

gold hatches are sexy!!!

Dontoh

SO SEXY! darker tho! should i try to find and gold oem color, so atleast it could be matched to other parts? or straight up custom shiz!?

93egSLEEPER

^^^too much gold IMO. not a fan. mix in some black or CF pieces and were in business.

Dontoh

yeah, going with black. I'd love to do cf, but when it comes down to it, it's expensive. wish I could.

love this

jdmwojo

yea i agree darker thats just the only gold hatch i could find lol i like the 1 off of fast and furious that rides around with no hood!

Dontoh

what do you think it would look like with the same gold as the eg about, except with black metal flakes? it'd darken it too

jdmwojo

heres tha perfect color!

Dontoh

that's such a nice color, know the name or code?

Dontoh

should do this LOL

jdmwojo
