Which S2000 Silver?

The darker Silverstone Metallic Clearcoat (NH-630M)

or

The lighter Sebring Silver Metallic Clearcoat (NH-552M)

I had this exact same debate a little over a year ago when I painted my 1992 hatch Silver.

I chose Vogue Silver Metallic (NH-583M) :

Well what better way to show him one of his color choices applied to a car Civic much like his?

Had he asked for another color and I had those pics I'd have posted those pics instead.

I planned on painting my EG silverstone metallic, but after checking out the newer s2ks, I really like the newer, lighter silver.

BTW...I love that last pic tom.

Granite Green Mettalic is pretty nice and different Honda/Acua OEM color. It's silver/gunmetal with green in it

VSM looks real close to the BMW Sterling Pearl Gray Metallic, that I had my EG hatchback repainted to for the new owner......






Here are some picts of it before when it was S2000 Silverstone Metallic.....






Heh.. sorry for the "no longer a post for 56Ker's" thread w/picts, but that's to give you idea of how it looks. For my 98 Civic hatch w/H22, I'm going to have it painted AMG silver..... should be looking "bling" at SEMA this year

S2000 Silverstone metallic w/2000 GSR wheels on. Should give you an idea.... either that or look at any silver S2K with stock wheels and it looks the same.

Silverstone Metallic is one of my possible choices. It's a pretty simple color. I also love the Desert Silver Metallic found on RSX's. It's a toss up between the two.
