it would be less work to paint the car black because of the engine bay and door sills and stuff like that are already black.

just something to think about.

It wouldn't be any easier if you paint it correctly, paint all jams and bay. Be oringial? It is an R clone...how original would it be to paint it cw or nhb? I would remove those ugly side moldings before paint as well. As for paint color, I always like an OEM honda color, but do something different. There are tons of cw or nhb cars, pick something different.
Some of my favorites are silver, milano red, and that gold that you always see grandmas driving. Just my .02 cents.

You must be an English major. Im sorry but I hate Ghetto paint jobs, build hack jobs, etc.. The body work should be done right no matter what color you paint it. Depending on which direction you are going on this car there are a few things you might want to consider. What are your goals for this project?

Insurance companys like white allot better than black. they don't like red either. My insurance agent told me that their company considers red cars more likely to be involved in street races especially with hondas and acuras. but yea, if you go white you migh actually get a better rate.
