Don't be afraid to try something different.

Pick a color you like.

Have your car painted that color.

Keep in mind, its your car and you drive it everyday. Don't pick a popular JdM color because it will appease the masses on ht.

are you getting the interior and engine compartment done or just the exterior? I wouldnt suggest a color change if you were going to do it ghetto style.

Factory paint isn't all that. What are you talking about? Mass-production paint. BLAH.

Anyways, if you were to fix it, I'd repaint the whole car to match it. As for color, that's entirely up to you. Having the car black is a bonus to you though, the engine bay will look fine black.

I would go with gunmetal if I were you. I have a black car and I'm sure you know as well as I do that it's a bitch to keep clean!

On the other hand, black does look really good when it's clean!

The only thing I would question is whether or not you are going to paint the engine bay, if you are, go with gunmetal or another color, if not, then just spray some black on there. Personally I don't like it when the engine bay is a different color than the rest of the car, it looks kinda sloppy to me... But that's just my $.02

id either repaint it black, but not a fucked up honda black.. honda blacks always have blue or red pearl in it.. sucks.. id paint it like audi TT or BMW black.. nice n glossy with no pearl..

or id go and paint it a nice, bright red.. like the new toyota tacoma red..

or if silver is what u like, there is a new silver color on the new IS300's thats pretty nice.
