Question Custom paint, Need some insperation.

Well going to be painting the civic shortly and was wanting to get some ideas. Not just colors but also paint schemes. Post a picture of your ride or one that you like. I have a good idea of what I want. But I would like to see what else I could possibly do.

Im thinking of original black metal flake on the lower half of the car, then fade into a flat black on top with a Rally strip to go from the front to the back. Sorry no drawings or pictures. It's all in my head.

Mine is green with tons of color shifting metal flake, changes with sunlight and angles. Pictures never capture the flake as well as in person.

Dang, how often do you scrape that thing on the ground? Is there paint on the bottom or is it all gone?

Man I like that, I'm also welding up the door handles, and putting poppers in. I take it you have bags on your ride?

Thanks!! I have done all the work my self, and its been a lot of work.

Yes it's on bags, the airlift strut-bags. 1/2 inch lines and valves and a 7 gallon tank. I put in the air suspension about 5 1/2 years ago. Its fully shaved, door handles, trim, antenna and windshield squirters. The rear bumper is molded to the body and i removed the plastic license plate box and installed a metal box with a relocated trunk keyhole. Also the entire interior plastics are painted to match. Under the hood matches and the trunk is fiber-glassed and painted. I'm getting ready to do realistic flames on the outside on top of the green. luckily I have an 03 Si as my daily driver so I can work on this one, to make more changes to get ready for the next season of car shows.
