shop pics on.. page 2 i think.

 

keep it red unless you going to change the color everywhere. nothing like looking into an engine bay and seeing your nice new paint on outside and some old faded different color under the hood.

do it right the first time.

 

im painting everything door jams, inside, & engine bay....im going to repaint the car right before summer when i take the motor out and get my turbo going

This man has good advice.

If you do plan on changing, go with white. To get a black paint, the body has to be ABSOLUTELY perfect, otherwise it looks like crap. Black is the hardest color to prep for, and white, is one of the easiest.

On top of that white Civics look better than anything IMHO. I love white. I can't wait to get my sedan painted.

 

hmmm i see....well im deff going to take all of this into consideration..its so hard to make a choice because its so final..and i honestly think all the colors look good on the crx's

 

Y-49 gets my vote.

 

I hope to one day do something like a dark gray. I think you should do a color that the CRX never came in, gives it some originality without the need of kits and all that crap. Also whether or not you paint the trim, and which trim, will probly make a big difference.

 

ya i also thought about that i saw a nice repainted red crx and he left the mirrors, side moldings and under trim all black..white a nice brand new pair of rota slipstreams...and it looked really nice..samething with white..and i saw the samething with everything painted w/black & bronze rims...so hard to choose

 

the car looks good in silver too i almost just put the clear over the siver instead of the kandy.

but kandy paint is really bad *** but a lot of work.
that was 20 coats total before i was done

 

whatever you do, don't paint the trim body color! it looks like absolute crap....especially when the rocker panels get painted. It looks messed up and crappy. Makes the paint job look cheap and rushed.

Instead, get all the trim repainted in a nice black so it doesn't look weird and faded after the new paint.

 

some of the new Honda colors are cool, like the Magnesium silver on the new Civics or the lt green on the Element. Stick with Honda colors but one that did not come on a CRX if you want something different

 

deff im thinking about gettin all new moldings nice new fresh black...i dont think ill repaint the moldings bc everything i saw looked good....im not looking to have a huge change...i want it to look as stock as possible

Way OT, but didn't you have a ton of posts at one point?

 

ya i got a store near me called strictly honda & acura...you can get any OEM things..i just replaced my side moldings on the fenders

 

Championship White fool!

 

lol i told you guys im torn...i NEED pics...post post

 

 

if your changing the color paint everything, like the door jams, so it doesnt look half assed when you poen your door and its red but the outside is blue for example. if your arent going to paint stuf like that go with a shade of red so it will some what match

brand new?

how much? I'm looking for all the pieces for a Sedan.

 

IMO the best colors for a rex are as follows black, gunmetal or the best of all "burnt orange" or maybe even called "sunset orange"I think its called all I remember is its like a darker orange and not overly flashy.
