He is asking whether he should repaint it black, or go another color. Milano Red is so sessy.

 

i'm re storing the whole car so i'm planning to keep it forever

 

its black now

 

i was thinking bout painting it yellow but the mugen mirror face wheels is more chrome-ish i thought they would be more bronze to it

 

PY FTW!

quoted for troof.

 

i, myself am a CW white kinda guy, but if u want yellow, dont go PY. Be original and do a different yellow, I think a really light yellow will look nice. (possibly called canary yellow) Its a volvo yellow. my second choice would be a baby blue. again its a very light blue, not metallic. I have never seen a baby blue ITR. I think that would look sweet. either the light yellow or light blue.

 

lol...if i had to repaint, i'd paint it any other color than PY, including PP

When I think of light yellow, that WRX Blaze Yellow forever haunts. Barf! Faded from the factory. Just my opinion, though.

I thought BMW Laguna Seca Blue looked good on that wannabe ITR that was otherwise well done (no pics).

If you're not worried about what a color change will do to resale, then go for it.

*tries to think hard* What's PP?

 

i'm not tryin to make it a show car i just want it original all real honda/mugen parts

 

i can't sell my baby never

 

well, considering you have Mugen NRs...
another fresh coat of black would look stunning.
Up to you.

 

I would leave it black or go another color completely. Or you could just get a sick wet-sanded coat of black/clear


If I were to ever repaint my car a different color it would be

1) Championship white
2) Vogue Silver
3) Greenish gray metallic (Supra gunmetal)
4) Seal grey (Porsche gunmetal)

 

Keep it black. Black ITRs look the best. I t will also be cheaper to paint it the same color than it would to change the color.

 

I would repaint it the original color. You say you will never sell it but we all say that. It never works out that way. Just cause you feel that way now doesn't mean it will last.

I would at least paint it a true ITR color. If you go with a color other than black. Milano red, phoenix yellow, and championship white would be the only colors I would consider. Just my .02.

 

About how much do you think this is going to run? For a quality job? Just wondering because I am getting some rust spots above my rear wheel wells and might just repaint the whole damn car.

I would imagine that PP could only stand for ***** pink. i could be wrong though.

What he said.....i said the same thing about my 92 civic and my 00 civic and in the end, both sold. I am sure the R will be sold in time as well.
