Default What color should I paint my car?

I spent a good part of the summer making it run, then enjoyed it for a few more months. Now winter is fast approaching, and I have to install a cage, 88 doors, and a HF roof, and paint it. I haven't been able to decide on a color. Part of me wants to keep it red, then I also have been kicking around other choices. Lets here some sugestions. Feel free to photo shop it.

I like the earthy greens that are popular right now or the champagne color from the 4th gen accords would look cool

dont do something too too funky. Pick a color that is timeless and will look good in a couple years.

Yeah I'm thinking something basic, and timeless. Like Rosso Coursa Red, Monte Carlo Blue, Champ White, Silverstone Metalic, Blade silver, one of those colors. Can you spot the Non-Honda color?

for you I would recommend GM Smoke, but change out the Medium metallic for the Exta coarse one.

I just mixed that up last week for a customer at work, and it turned out sick......In the shade its almost black, but once the sun hits it, its a glimmering Charcol colour.

I'll snap a pic of the car on Monday for you, so you know what I mean.

Oh ya and Canadian tire FTW !

seriously, i had my old ef8 wannabe paint the silverstone metallic from the s2k, and it was absolutely amazing. I think it would look really good on your car, and if youd like i could post some old pics of mine for reference
