new paint job - Honda Prelude Forum

myludesucks · 03-27-2011, 11:53 PM

Hello PO Community. Im looking for feedback and opinion on a project I've started back in July of 2010. I went out and bought 17x7 57pro gram lights(gray silver), Sebion CF Hood, CF oem style wing, mugen replica sides and rear, front oem lip and dropped about 1.5 inches on Tein SS coilovers. Now all that is left is to figure out a new paint job for the car. I currently have the factory black color, but i've got quite a bit of minor dings all over the car and have a rather large scratch on my rear right bumper. I'm thinking about going with copper red mica (like on the rx8) since I think it looks nice. But can't quite picture it mentally. With the current set-up, which color do u think would look best?

Weighing these two arguments, I ny asian escort prefer to the latter one. In my eyes, ny asian escorts though “the moonlight clan” may acquire temporary satisfaction from their consumption, in ny escorts the long term, it is unfavorable to their family and career. Just as a proverb says, one should ny escort always prepare for a rainy day.

^Spam.

Personally, I always like super clean(such as just after a fresh paint job) black 5th gens.

I'd leave it.
But dude, that's a lot of money to spend on a color that someone else wants. Do what you want!

Dude, you repaint a black 5th gen black. They look just so sharp in either Flamenco black or Nighthawk black.

Coolest colors for a prelude are one of the black or white pearls.

If you repaint it anything else, it'd be a shame.

Just my opinion though, it's your car.

I can't doubt that black looks awesome on ludes. But I think having another color would compliment the rims and CF hoods a lot better than black, which is why I started looking into different types of colors instead.
Blue does seem like an interesting idea. I look to see what kind of different shades are out there.

I like the factory shade blue. Silver is kinda played out on ludes (i had silver), i've seen the san marino red fade super fast, but i get what your saying with the CF. The darker red shades w/ CF look sick tho, maybe leave engine bay black and paint the valve cover red. That'd make it pop.

Just have to consider this, if you change the color do you have enough money to spend to recolor the ENTIRE car? Cars out there rolling around with different color engine bays and door jambs look so hideous and just screams I was too cheap to do it right.

You could stay your color or do some other black for a lot less.
