I'm in sort of a dilemma here.
My integra is currently maroon but the paint is fading.
I really want a white integra, but also like them in black or gunmetal grey.
I'm looking for some persuasion such as pictures and facts.
Is it worth to change the color?
If so would that decrease the overall value of the car and what would i have to do such as title and inspection when the title states the original color?

 

i like the gunmetal on the teggys wit the right stance i just got a 1990 da its silver right now but needs new paint an some body work but im thinking thats the color ima going. an i dont think it would effect title much at all fresh paint is always a plus

 

That depends on your plans for the car? Yes, if you plan on keeping it for rest of your life, then do what you want, when you want.

If you do plan to sell the car at some point, I would go OEM color. It makes it look 10X better because all the door jams and etc will match.

Unless you go with a true all-out pro job, but I'm going to guess it's not what you want to do because it will cost a lot.

Yes, I do like white, black and gun metal too. But your color is not bad and kind of a rare bird.

So do you want to be same or different?

 

Its your car and your money do what you feel like. If you do decide to repaint and can't decide what color I'd either do OEM or gunmetal.

 

Black and white are both hard to keep clean. Black also shows dings and dents no matter how small they are. Id stay with the color you have now,if you did respary it the next thing that is going to bug is the bay and jams. White car with maroon jams and bay is ugly.

 

White is not hard to keep clean...

 

I am.plan keeping the car for a good while, but will probably end up selling it a few years from now.
What if I do milano red?

 

Do what you like. What is your fav color?

 

Its is when you live in NM.

 

Why is that? So are all other colors then because next to silver white is the easiest to keep clean.

 

I love your avatar <3.

 

thanks, pam ftw.

 

I love yours too. May he rest in peace.

 

COOL i dont like dirt on my cars so for me i can see the dirt on them just as ez as i can on a black car. So to me its just as hard to keep clean END OF STORY.

 

Move out of shitty as NM.

 

Moving back home to cali thanks though

 

Depends if you are a flashy person or not. I had a white integra a few years back, and it caught a lot of attention because of its color.

Black is less noticeable at times, as is the dark gray.

When it comes to keeping it clean, I have to admit that white is pretty easy, along with silver. However, a dark gray and the VBP/SSBP colors are pretty easy as well. Black..................NOT so much lol.

 

Just respray it the same color and keep it clean and work with it afterwards. It will be wayyyy cheaper too

 

Im actually leaning towards original color so i wont have to deal with problems. How about this color though, its not original but its close.


Im also thinking about trading it for a white/black or gunmetal grey car and call it a day.

 

Its bad luck to change the color of your car just my 2 cents...
