should i paint the ej1 black or red?

 

going off the board with white.

 

Total blackness is sweet! Too bad my bike is "Charcoal Grey." Might as well be black.

Black, is the most rewarding color when dteialed. Once you black you never go back

 

red, you get more attention from the chicks!

 

Red. It looks cleaner when it's dirty and shows hairline scratches less.

Plus that whole thing about "you get pulled over in a red car" or "insurance is higher on a red car" is completely false. They've done studies on police records and I know I've never had an insurance company ask me for the color of my car (even though I've owned two red ones).

coming from someone whose owned an MR and a RR car and then a GBP turned royal blue metallic car....I definately get less attention from cops DRIVING THE SAME WAY than compared to a red cars


why do people continually ask these questions in the tech forum and on top of that don't even include pics o the car or an exterior mod list

 

Red attracts more cops, especially if you have motor/head/exhaust work
Looks real nice tho. There isnt anything better than a black car, but be prepared to be at the carwash at least 1-2x a week, and have some good quality wax

 

I have a Milano Red EX coupe and I haven't been pulled over in over two years. I live in the Puget Sound, WA area, which is known for cops wanting to hand out tickets too.

I don't drive crazy and weave in and out of traffic or anything, but I do speed (usually at least 10mph over).

We are especially screwed out here in SoCal, they dont like the imports too much...

 

champ white, or charocal grey, maybe midori but that might not look right

 

B92P FTW!!

 

I have a nice red one and i love it. If i could though i would paint it taffeta white. Wheres the tech???

 

considering you live in Texas i would either do red or white. considering you dont want white(a clean glossy white honda is sweeeeet). i guess its red. black would be nice but not in the south.

 

Im trying to decide the same for my Ej2, i say black or charcoal gray.

x2. i've never had any trouble with my milano red. ya it might stand out a little more than others, but the police in cincinnati don't exactly discriminate againt car color. theres quite a few red cars out here. so it probably depends on where your at.

 

black or red guys huh?

Like I said... second red car ever. My car insurance is not higher. My insurance has never come out to look at my car, nor have they asked me the color of my car. How do you think they would know then? My VIN? The DMV (this is the only fathomable place I think they could find out)? What about cars that are repainted?

Most of the cars I see in traffic seem to be silver, champagne, white or black. Red, green, yellow, orange, blue, pretty much anythign that isn't a neutral color seems generally to hold more character imo. I do like certain white cars though (like RSXes... white 5Gs usually don't do it for me, but I think that has to do more with either the shade of the paint or the condition of it often being older, more abused paint).

 

midnite black man...
