As topic states i'm looking to paint my ej8 another color in a week or so. Right now my car is stock silver. if i went with any other stock color it would be red. i hear a lot of **** now about red being a girls color/ esp. a red coupe. what is your opinion?

 

Blue. Blue cars are the **** and if you're going for OEM, Honda makes some great blues.

Yes, blue is the ****.

 

Yeah I like blue a lot. I thought about electron blue but not sure what that would look like on a 96-98 coupe without the conversion. I really like the Belize Blue Pearl, thanks for the pictures.

belize is sexy too.

 

 

Just hung up with the paint shop and it's only $30 more for any other color besides stock. what are some great colors out there?

 

If the paint isn't OEM, then it is anything your imagination could possibly come up with. You could have burple, rellow (orange?) greouwn (baby **** mixed with bile, green and brown) or any other combination of retardedness. You can also pick between enamal, pearl, or metallic.

I'm a fan of metallic bile with puke trim pearl iridescent. Really makes the blue in my eyes pop.

ROFL JK.

 

A full color changeover isnt gonna be cheap...
If oem paint is in good condition why mess with it?
Oem paint gets my vote...

 

Kaizer Silver

 

Just want a different look. There is a local place here who starts paint jobs at $115 so i'm going to get a pricing tomorrow

 

Paint jobs generally cost WAAAAYYYYY more than that. With paint jobs, you get what you pay for (unless you got the hookup or something). Decent paint jobs are around the $1,000 mark quire commonly, and can be 2-5x that depending on how **** you want to get. I had a 1990 Toyota Celica and got quoted $5,000 to get the car painted and some cancer removed from the wheelwell. That, of course, was from a shop that does extremely ****, perfect work. They mostly work on old classics, restoring them.

Anyway, for $100, you'll get the cheapest, most ragged paintjob known to man. the *paint* usually costs more than that!
