So I am painting my 89 CRX OEM red on the bottom and want to do the lower dip in the hood, roof, and rear hatch plate (its about 4" tall) in phantom grey (better than black IMO). I wanted your opinion on whether or not I should just paint the whole "upper portion" of the car phantom grey? Or should I do just like I had planned? If I were to paint the upper portion phantom grey should I do it from where the pin stripe is->up?

Here is a pic for clarification as to where the pinstripe is.

 

just paint whole car the same color two tone is ugly.imo

i second this notion.

 

Just paint the roof a different color. Maybe black

 

Yea, but I like it. Thats my opinion. I just was wondering which is the more "preferred" method of doing it? BTW- This car is going to have a fraternal twin- a 97 EK coupe. Same exact paint scheme and engine setup!

whatever you want to do is cool, just post some pics of the finished product

 

If it was me I would just paint the roof, and get a carbon hood.

ahhh, good 'ol CF...the solution to everything

 

DO it!!! two tone is sweet, when i get an ef im definately going 2 tone!

 

Well I am definietly trying to keep it old school with this one. I have the MR5's and CF48s for the car! And two tone paint will just accent the old school look so much!

I will if you give me some pics of those wheels on your car!!!!

 

I dunno, sounds kinda upside down to me, cars are usually dark on the bottom and light on the top....

 

follow the window line, not the pinstripe.

 

Do it however you want.

how do you get that pinstripe if you repaint your car? i'm gonna be paiting my car soon and i'm sure i'll be sanding off everything, i just want that pinstripe back when i get done with the paint.....maybe even the pinstripe on the newer hondas, where on the fender its got the tiny little "H" logo...maybe...but i want my pin stripe back...how do i get it?

 

Any auto paint store has pin striping tape for sale.
