They'll probably close this thread, if you read the forum rules, it says you're not suppose to post things like this. Simply because it's whatever color you want.

In reality, you're the one that's going to have to look at it/deal with it on a daily basis. Washing your car, driving it, finding it in a parking lot.

I've been trying to decide for a year, and haven't come up with anything yet. For everyone else, they'll just see it for a second or two and that's it.

I'm thinking a kandy red. Not sure though.

if i were you id go buy a paint code book with all manufactures colors in it or look into the hok. i think black is to boring, and its very hard to keep clean. if you dont buff it after a couple months black will also show swirl marks very easily.

look at something you like, dont have others pic a color for you. oem honda colors are nice, theres very few of them i like. i just like to be a lil different. painted my hatch a pretty awesome orange that i just mixed up. with lots of pearl and metallic.
