Default Help me choose a color......

I'm trying to decide what color to paint my accord. What does everyone else think? I don't want to paint it something played out, and these are what I have decided between......

IS300 GRAPHITE GREY PEARL...


THIS GREY OFF THE 745.....


THE BURGUNDY OFF THIS X5.....



I really like the silver/charcoal idea... If anyone has any other good pictures of charcoal/silver colors I'd appreciate it.

and you think those gunmetal greyish colors arent "played out".. do it something that really isnt played out if you are going to paint it i'm not trying to be tuff guy,, i'm just saying you know.

and if its white.. might as well keep it white,, thats always a good color..

and who is going to paint it if you do get it done?

Yeah, I know... point well taken. As far as the white part, the previous owner had the car re-sprayed before I bought it, and it wasn't done very well...overspray on the windows and stuff. Luckily I got that off. Since I want to get it re-done, I'm just exploring the options of different colors. Keeping ti white would be easier, I know. I wouldn't have to spray the engine bay or powdercoat my wheels......

As far as the work, I want to have M-1 Autobody of El Monte paint the car. I have seen their work on a few friends cars. Otherwise, my friend just finished his school for bodywork and paint, so I might let him try.

Well currently I have a set of white Grahm Lights..... and if I were to paint my car any of those colors I would most likely powdercoat them black. I haven't put the rest of the stickers on yet, and I'm thinking about waiting until I have decided on paint before I put them on.
Depending on how much money I can come up with at the time I might just sell them all together and buy something else.

Dude your all about that burgandy x5 color. I've never seen it on a hatch before, but it'd look sick whichever direction you go.
