Default Electron Blue Pearl vs Vivid Blue Pearl

Some idiot backed out of his driveway while I was driving past and dented the whole entire side of my car, the other guy was at fault and the insurance paid $3,500. My body guy said he would paint the whole car for another $500-1,000 any color I want. And there paying for the rent a car. I'll never have this opportunity again so I was consiering having it done. The 2 colors I like are EBP and VividBP. My car is currenlty Cypress Green Pearl with Beige int, however I also have a complete black leather swap with seats that are as mint as they come that I purchased 2 years ago but never put them in. I figured I would only put them in if I get the car painted because as nasty as they are the beige looks decent with the green. At this point I hate the green. Doesn't match with anything nore does the beige. My friend says vivid, I say EBP is the nicest blue ever. What do you guys think?

4500 for a paint job? I didnt know that a full color change was that much. Anyone got pics of VBP? I know EBP looks sick though

4500 includes replacing the fender and dents down the whole passender side of the car. So I would only have to lay out $500 to 1000 out of my pocket. Let me try and post some pics.

These are pics I found on Honda-tech.








The way my car looked before the accident, minus the 3 piece wing. Swapped it for the stock GSR spoiler, looks a lot cleaner without that big *** rice wing.

No, they are not the same. US had Supersonic Blue Pearl on the 98-99 (I think) Integra GS-R. Electron Blue was on the Si, CR-V, and Prelude. I believe the Supersonic is slightly more purple. A much nicer choice in my opinion.

I used to like the EBP color back in 99.. now it's just old.

I'd rather have straight black.

I don't see tegs in EBP although it's been around a while. Super Sonic is very nice but just a little too purple. Actually it should be called Super Sonic Purple. Keep them coming, I like the opinions.

I'd keep the green. Everybody has blue, and not very many people have green, that I know of. Plus green looks really good.
