Which Color to Repaint My 5th Gen. Prelude--
Tried posting a poll, but the error screen kept appearing. If any of the MOD's can change this to a poll I would appreciate it. Currently, my Prelude is nordic mist metallic, and its a 1997. Very faded, and extremely touched up paint job.
My Prelude:


And, the colors that I have in mind. Jet black, even though Preludes do come in black, stock. Graphite grey pearl, from the Lexus IS300. Moonrock silver, from the UK S2000's. Cadillac pearl white, although Preludes do come in pearl white, stock. And finally, repainting it a slightly different stock Prelude color, crystal blue metallic.

Im diggin that white, but you would have to really stay on it to keep it lookin like that.
I would suggest a color that you think is pretty easy to maintain and wont show signs of wear and tear, esp from all the salt and crap you have to deal with in DE. I know you dont wanna have to do another paint job within the next 4-5 years.

word of advise. i would say away from the black, you will always have nasty swirl marks after every time u wash your car. i know cause thats the way it is with my repainted 4th gen. i would go with the Graphite grey pearl color
