deciding a color for my teg
yo, i have a 98 teg.. its currently blk but im forced to park outside so it gets sap on from the trees. also people have been trying to break into my car so theres chipped paint all over the top of my door. i was thinking about getting a paint job, 35% tint and parking it inside the garage. can you guys give me some ideas on a good color for my teg? thanks

beef up security measures if ppl are currently trying to break into your car...
then get it painted...
go with whatever color you want, no need to have us pick it for you. Personally, I like a few with graphite or pewter paint and if I were to paint my car, i'd take a look at them.

How much do you plan on spending for a paint job? I ask because it costs considerably more to get a color change, you might just wanna stick with black or a similar dark color.
As to good colors for an Integra, well thats all up to you. I personally think white looks incredible on 'em.

Re: (dcBryan 2)
Doesn't get much more JDM than having it be white, too. 
I've been thinking about getting a different kind of white on mine (right now its the factory Frost White) - I was considering Ceramic White (I think that's a color by Ford - its heavenly). My brother keeps telling me to look at a color that I think is called Pearl White or something, has a hint of blue in it. Seemed pretty swanky.
Anyway man, to each his own.

If you're having problem with people trying to break in your car then leave it looking crappy and maybe they'll stop. Ok I'll be serious now, I like milano red, cw, and ssbp.

It would be far easier to restore the original paint. There's no good reason to change the color of the entire car awhen you consider the door jams , trunk gap and the engine compartment.
Doesnt seem like you considered the job required and how it would look if you changed the color.

id keep it the same color....when i went to get my car painted, to keep the same color was $3k, to change it was $5k........unless you have the money and someone thats going to do it right , id keep it the same.......i hate it when you see a car thats been painted and it looks nice....then you open up the door and see the diff color door jam.......same w/engine compartment, that looks like crap........especially if you change colors drasticly, like from black to white..... but if you are going to change the color......you know that new dodge truck color? the dark grayish pewterish? i dont know what the colors called! i really like that color and was thinking about painting mine that color....that wouldnt be too big of a color change!
EDIT: i found the name of that color, graphite mettalic!
