Picking a paint colour
Howdy All, I just bought a 94 civic hatchback and I need some advice on what colour to paint it.
I searched just for civics and couldn't really find any. I'm doing alot of bodywork on it atm, then its gonna get painted pretty soon.
It is white right now (blue interior) and I was trying to think of some paint colours which would go nice with the interior.
Was also thinking about two tone custom paints, as long as no air brushing or fancy stuff is required.
Any advice or pictures would be very much appreciated.

It really comes down to personal taste. Get what you like. I'm repainting my car black for two reasons. 1. The current paint is in horrible condition. 2. I love the color black on cars.

Yes, black is a color. Well, technically no it isn't. But it is the color of my car.

You're an idiot.
Black is a color when referenced to it being the color of a particular object. Also, white and black are colors. It depends on how you're referring to them.
People like you serve no purpose in life.
Please, go to the bathroom, get out a bottle of Formula 409 and toast up.
Your attempt at being a sarcastic witty individual fails, as does your existence.
In America, we call it "color", and America > Canada.
Good day, sir.

Don't be a dick, that flaming was 100% unnecessary and un-called for. Go ahead and flame me if you feel it will make you less insecure.
I think you should remove the blue paint from your interior first, then decide what to do about the outside color. Go to the appearance and cosmetic section of this forum and start up a poll. Definitely don't expect much agreement though, because naturally everyone has their own preference for paint colour

Go for the color YOU like the best.
But answering your question: I like brighter colors on the EG-Hatch best, like white, red or even yellow, which looks superb with dark rims.
As for the interior: I'm not a big fan of painted interiors, IMO it looks best black.
