One of my friends had her Del Sol painted pink... looked damn good for a girl's car. Too bad she sold it.

i am a firm believer in repainting any daily driver its current color. unless you 1) sand to the bare metal, or 2) get a 30k $ paint job. its not gonna be any where near as durable as the original paint job ever was. and will be very prone to chips. when pink paint chips (especially on the plastic bumpers) how attractive is it gonna be to see spots of green?

Oops forgot to tell you guy's. The car is getting complete new 1/4 panels etc, so the whole thing is getting painted inside and out.

Pink, I'm not shure about that. She was thinking of 99 Si blue.

electron pearl blue is a very nice color. but its getting kinda played out. pick something more original. but what ever you like i say go for it. dont let other people influence you. its your car. not theirs.
