Best color to paint my lude

its got a silver primer coat on it now. im not a big fan of silver and was thinking of a flat white or a pearl white. I was also wondering what color tint looks best with white.

best tint (imo): reflective...not mirrored

pearl white is nice but i think it almost looks like a light off white sometimes.

PreludeGirl had the Lexus Gunmetal Gray and that was probably the nicest looking Prelude I've seen.

Cheers!

edit: that was a 5th gen, but still it's a color you may want to consider

chapionship white it prob a superwhite color and pearl has more of a dimmer tone to it, not as white. Electron Blue Pearl......i have never seen a 4th gen that color, but the only other color (than silver) i would get my car painted is EBP......very nice color in my opinion

Its more than segzi.......it has the power to turn a lude owner on! I still like silver though. But an EBP Prelude would be one-of-a-kind, atleast around here

I'm doing my Prelude in either a high gloss black or a charcoal grey to make the Carbon Fiber things stand out. I had originaly opted for canary yellow but my dad helped me see the light of a yellow car.

Brittany pink? okay, whatever...... I'm sure someone would like the color, definately not me. What about Vicki? I am fine with Seabring Silver Metallic. To each his/her own.

just pick a color. like i said - something you like, not what others like. Others may like it, you may hate it or others may hate it you may love it. I like EBP though....

P.S. - Post #1000

well actually, you guys practically have me sold on this EBP color now. Is it a stock honda color? I read on some website where some guy called it a honda color. Also, i work for sherwin williams so i could get a deal on the paint.

a lil OT- word is that championship white is illegal. or at least it is illegal in Virginia... cuz u know... VA sux. supposedly it is too white. meh... i dont know.

anyways. get what u want man... EBP is hot, but i will always love a black lude... even though it stays clean for all of 2seconds. but get what u want... and uh... u work for sherman williams... u wanna get us in on some cheaper paint?
thanks,
nate
