Default Which paint for the ITR ?

Two days ago I bought another Honda, a CRX del sol esi, silver..
It`s 2 years older than my ITR but looks clean and awsome...

I am SO tired of that damned black paint... Wouldn`t be that nasty if Honda wouldn`t use that low quality paint... Something I noticed long ago. They don`t rust but the black paint looks awul very quick.... Black cars of other brands look pretty for years...

Anyway, I am thinking of giving my R antother colour... maybe silver...

Any opinios ?? But don`t tell me something about silver LS`s or GSR`s...
We don`t have the imported.. Every Integra in Germany is an ITR. So they wouldn`t loose their unique look after giving them another paint.
The alternative is to drive around with a black car looking shitty most of the time

I always liked the Monte Carlo Blue on the JDM S2000.
Just a thought.

Just do a quality repaint of your factory color. Please do not do a full repaint of your car. It will be worthless if you change the color. If anything repaint the CRX not the R.

why would PY specifically be more expensive than any other color? they should all be the same price ?

Because we don`t have them in Germany and I think I`d have trouble to get the right paint...

Ah this movie...I don't like it. The X-Files was the only science fiction movie-serieswhich was good. All the others are rip offs.

I doubt he will paint that R red, cause in Germany was the factory red R available.

Yeah, NSX Imola Orange.

I think a silver would look cool also.

It would drop the value of your car, but if you don't care then do what YOU want to.

I am SO tired of that damned black paint...
welcome to the club, I was so tired of it on my old VTi that I only drove it in nice weather and when it was clean, drove 11k km´s in one year in it. ppl used to think I was nuts, when I saw buses or big vehicles I slow down so I wouldnt get dust or dirt over the car, ppl were always saying that I wasnt driving a Porsche but a Honda but I didnt care, I loved my car but I hated that black paint!!

I think u should repaint it black, but do it at a garage that paints german cars, I´ve waxed a brand new black Opel Astra and my VTi and the paint on the Opel was totally different, it wasnt as easy to damage as the Honda paint...
