Painting a 2000 SI
So, I'm just trying to get some opinions. My little brother has a 2000 Electron Blue Si that we're trying to build up and we were thinking about doing a color change on it, what do you think? Should we paint it or not? He's not going for JDM or Bling Bling, just going for a clean look and we think the Electron Blue is too loud for the look he's trying to go for. Right now we pretty much are settled on doing Carbon Gray from the TSX. What do you think? Any suggestions?

It's not really damaged, just needs a refresh. There are a ton of door dings, dents on the hood and scratches all over it.
thinks you should just keep it blue.

Do whatever it takes to achieve the look you're going for, whether its functional or not. If you want to paint your car hot-pink, then go for it! 
When getting it painted, I would suggest gutting the whole car, including the engine bay. I hate it when people get their cars painted and the engine bay remains the old color, which doesn't match the new exterior color.

You only exaggerated by about 99,970,000, but don't worry about it.
