Going to re paint Type R a non Type R color
Hey everyone.
Well I drive a 98 Type R with a JDM front end that was painted yellow by the previous owner. Anyways, I've had the car for about 2 years now and I don't like the attention it's getting from the cops these days. Also the attention it gets from theifs. I'm thinking of painting it a non Type R color cause I don't want to sell it because cops bother me or people try to steal it. I figure that by changing the body paint it should not attract that much attention. I don't want to go back to white. I was thinking of a gun metal or something like that. Any ideas?

I don't want to paint the car anything to flashy. That's the reason why I want to change the color with all the theifs and cops out there.

BMW Steel Gray Metallic! Click on the //M coupe text in my sig to see what it looks like. Similar to a gunmetal color.

Go with "Thunder Grey" off the 1994 Acura Integra's.. I don't have a picutre of it, but its a very nice grey, awesome metallic in it. That was the color on my old 94 teg, ask around, you can probably find the paint code easily since its an Acura color. very spoony if you ask me.
