just go to your local jobber and look at their paint chips. all the colors wont be there but you will have a better idea.remember your the one thats going to be stuck with the color so the choice is yours !
good luck with the paint job

B4 I had the bodywork done to my CRX
I had in my head that i wanted R81 Milano Red
Then thru some thinking i explored my options.
Went from Milano Red, to the Imola Red thats on the newer M3's
to Corvette Trophy Red and Magnetic Red Metallic (sp?)
Even Porsche Guards Red....
but in the end went with HOK

I would go with something with a little pizazz, Milano and common solid reds in general are boring IMO. Take a look at some dark red metallic colors and maybe a custom mixed color.

No, it's from 2001-2005 Civics (and possibly more chassis, that I'm unaware of).

Milano Red w/some metallic? I'd like to see what that would look like. Rallye Red too. That color looks great.

Sounds like something you'd see in the 1990's. Metallic flake was all the rage in the 80's and 90's.
