Default what color should i paint my 1994 prelude h22a1 vtec?

hey im wondering for your opinion what color should i paint my 1994 prelude? its black right now but paint is okay.. its starting to fade and i have a dent on my passenager door so i might as well do a full body paint. but if i do a paint job i want to change the color.. i was thinking like a royal blue or a champion white?

if the orange has red in it "hot orange" yes it could very well be, basic orange isnt too great though lol

I'd say just repaint it black. That is a good color for Preludes

Thats the only color Id give up my BBGM for......
Personally I think a fresh stock paint job is the way to go. My friend had his Azure repainted a ocuple years ago and it looks factory fresh! Thats the route I am going to go in a few years.....My stock paint still looks great after almost 16yrs!

If you change your color your engine bay will still be the original color, unless you plan on pulling the engine and getting the bay painted too. If it was me, that would bug me if they were different colors.

I just painted mine white and like it, but in about a year I'll probably re-paint. I'm thinking poo brown with some gold rims and a polished lip.
