i want to paint my car other than black. i wanted to paint it a blue metallic color at first, but now i'm thinking just a plain solid color would be better because of the plain interior i have (grey). so now i'm not sure if i want blue after all. i'm just looking for some suggestions on what color i should get. i have ideas but want opinions to see what would look best. thanks for any and all suggestions.

 

Just to let you know changing the color of your paintjob is where it gets expensive. You have to have it completly sanded down, primered and then painted and clearcoated. I would stick to a darker color, like maybe a midnight blue......and definetly sand the car down yourself and then primer it..........this way you dont have to pay labor on that stuff. Its not hard to sand and primer a car, and it will save you close to the beter part of a thousand bucks. Also, please make sure you dont cheap out on the paintjob. A nice paintjob will run you 1500-2000$........you really get what you pay for in this dept........Getting a cheaper paintjob wont show right away, but give it a year or so and it is going to look like you rattlecanned the car yourself. Best of luck.......remember do it once and do it right. -Your friend Pete

 

thanks for the tip. and yea...i was thinking midnight blue also, but what if i wanted to add some carbon fiber to my car? whould it look better with the blue or something like white or grey?

 

the blue color of my A4 in my photo gallery is prett nice. dont go gray its kinda boring. white with CF looks really good IMO.

 

Silver, a dark silver. check into what silver version the Type-R came in. Im not sure of the exact number or title, but it looks good. And it would match your interior.

 

the darker the color the more imperfections show up. an old painters proverb "if it ain't right paint it white"

 

i like black..if i had a choose i would go black, mabey yellow? or a dark dark blue...its like blue when the sun is shinning but i looks black when the suns down

 

i was thinking about the silver....and i love the old painters proverb. man.....decisions, decisions. hey buy i really appreciate your opinions/suggestions.

 

im still thinking between pheonix yellow, championship white, laguna blue, and phantom grey metallic for my civic. these are all oem honda colors.

 

that laguna blue doesn't look bad at all....is laguna blue and laguna seca blue the same though?
