Pick the color of my Integra
Hello all,
I just picked up a faded 94 Integra with a blown motor and 275,000 miles (automatic), all stock. I am currently driving a 95 hatch with a K20Z1. I'm going to swap everything I can to the Integra. I used to have one....went down the hatch road and now I want an Integra again. I need better aerodynamics, the hatch is killing me at highway speeds. I'd also like power windows and locks.....yes I could just put these on the hatch, but I like how the Integra is a bit more refined. Okay, enough about all that....I painted the hatch like a 2003 electric blue mini cooper.....blue bottom, blacked out the middle and a white roof.....I have white wheels and mirrors. I just wanted something different. I'm tired of the dull colors of the world and need something that pops. I was thinking of doing the same paint scheme on the Integra, but I'm open to suggestions. I work at a body shop and I'll be stripping the Integra and doing a full inside out color change including the engine bay. Thanks for all your constructive suggestions in advance.

Re: Pick the color of my Integra
Dookie brown is not quite what I'm going for, but thanks for the input. I'm looking for a something that girls would say is 'cute'. Yes, I'm sure girls might like to see a pink Integra, but I'm not that fond of pink....besides, it's almost pink now that it's faded. I'm also looking for something other than a stock color. I was actually thinking of skipping automotive paint and utilizing a product called Durabak. It is a bed liner type of material that can be used bought in a smooth finish as opposed to textured. I work for a body shop and I'm kind of tired of people being obsessed with the appearance of their cars. I don't like spending my time washing and waxing every weekend. I've had customers get on their hands and knees to point out a scratch on the underside of the bumper cover.....I'm just not wound up that tight. At any rate keep the ideas coming I do appreciate it even if it's not what I'm looking for......hopefully I've explained myself further. I'd also like to get some ideas from the HT female members and/or maybe the guys could ask the girls in their lives what they would like. Thanks again.

Re: Pick the color of my Integra
If your looking for color people can pull off some dope rides with check out bg33p. Its an oem teal for the teggy. I hear from girls all the time how pretty of a color it is after I wash it. Give them a dirty look and they instantly say "I mean, COOL color!"
I thought the color was kinda girly when I first got the car. But after checking out the teal teg thread on here way back when I loved it. Throw on some white wheels and it looks like a spearmint. haha Or throw some black rims and it gets a lot meaner looking.
Example... my whip.
Ive also for a while been throwing around the weird orange/gold the 350z can come in. Thats a dope color. I pretty much decided I wouldnt stretch from an oem color so id go with that.

Re: Pick the color of my Integra
Yes, I'm sure this would do the trick. As for the green, I was never a fan because I always saw cars with tan interior. I hate tan interior. However, your ride looks very clean and the white wheels are a nice accent. I do enjoy greens and since I have black interior this is a possibility. I already have white wheels as well. I'd like to thank everyone for their contributions, I've got a lot to think about. Perhaps, just perhaps 'Hello Kitty'. Gee whiz wouldn't you feel stupid getting your **** handed to you buy some guy in a car with Hello Kitty all over it.
