Default Painting my ek

I will be painting my ek very soon. I just wanted to know other peoples opinions on the colors I will choose from. Yeah I know its my car and I should do whatever I want to do to it. Just curious....by the way the car will be sitting on gold wheels.

Go to the paint store and look at all the colors you can choose from. There are thousands to choose from. Thats only if you want to be different.

Neither Granada or Championship.

Granada is a stock color. So you won't be unique with that paint job.

Championship is too cliched. It's up there with Phoenix Yellow and "IS300 gunmetal" and "IS300 white".

Nice color.

Ford has some gorgeous paint colors out there too. Look at the models that aren't as sporty. The models most people aren't drawn to look at. Those come in colors fewer peopel think of painting their car.

Artic Blue Pearl (B-507P) comes on the '02-'04 Type S.

The USDM RSX also gets Eternal Blue Pearl (the dark navy color) (B-96P) on the '02-'04 base model and Vivid Blue Pearl (B-520P) on the '05-'06 base and Type S models.

If you want something at all "original" for your paint color on a Honda, neither of the choices you posted should be considered.
