I hope I don't get flamed, but I had to tell everyone. I've owned my prelude for 6 years almost, and I've always been telling everyone "yeah I'm painting it soon". Well, I've been saying that for years, and I can FINALLY say, that I am getting it painted on MONDAY! ahh, I'm so excited, I can't wait! My prelude has been so many different colors, from past and present kits, and once we did the swap, and turbo stuff, the car itself has developed more dings, hits, dents, etc. The job is about $2K, and I have enough now. IM SO EXCITED !!! AHHH

 

Nice! What color are you painting it?

 

Get some Before/After shots so we can tell if you went to Maaco or not....J/K,but gets some pics for us

 

deffinetely get some before and after shots ...Im in the same boat

I just bought a milano red 96 si and its getting repainted within the month and its going to cost me $2200 ...

 

I just got an estimate on how much it would cost to get my lude repainted milano red and it was in the $2grand range. Damn 3-stage jobs

well, I went to a honda dealership the other day to get some "honda colors", plus my friend bought a new civic, but I really liked the 2007 S2000 blue, so I got that color, but I want darker, maybe a tone or two darker than that color I picked out.

for most preludes, a GOOD paint job, I have found to be around $2,000 but I have a lot of body work as well, so that's why mine is kinda high.

surprisingly, I did go to maaco, just out of curiosity (I would never get my car painted there), but they estimated MORE than what ACE body & paint estimated me for my car.

that color is freakin awesome i gotta see the lude when ure done with it

There is a prelude for sale at preludepower that has been painted that color. I like it...

Thanks guys, I was thinking of going darker, but I'm not sure. It's 2007 S2000 blue pearl.

 

What about the blue on the RSX's. Looks a little darker. Maybe they are the same color but different light. I dunno.

 

actually, I really like that. What's the color code? and what's the year of that car?

 

mmm.. i like laguna seca blue of bmw and the nsx color(long beach blue?)

 

it looks very similar to the 2007 s2000

 

I think what it is... is the pearls in the paint. When light hits the car it brightens up a lot. When there is not a lot of light, I think its significantly darker. My theory...

 

I think you're probably right, bump for anyone that might second this?

 

bump for anyone that might be able to help me out

 

the one on the rsx is called: Vivid Blue Pearl Clearcoat which the color code is B-520P .

the one off the s2000 is Laguna Blue Pearl Clearcoat whith color code B-545P.

 

What about the RSX color code for theirs? It happens to be the first pic that I posted of the RSX, seems very dark. Lack of sunlight?

lack of pixels and sunlight.

 

ha, yeah. So basically the 2007 S2000 blue color is the same to that RSX?
