Rarley happens But I need advice... - Honda Prelude Forum

as some of you know my car has been in the body shop for 6 weeks now. It's been in there so long I'm considering changing the color to IS300 Charcoal grey...however it's gonna cost me another $300,

Would you keep the unique Fresco Blue pearl and spend the money on some racing seats?

Or just go for the color swap?

I have my heart set on the Grey unless you can think of a better color?

MKIV Supra Royal Saphire Pearl. Or keep the Fresco Blue.

300 for a paint job? wtf what are you waiting for if its good quality. thats a nice color, the ones on the new bmw greys si nice also

go with the charcoal grey color, that will look nice. i considered a color similar to that when i got my car re-painted a couple of months ago. i wanted the bmw 'steel gray metallic color', i saw on a m-series roadster.. mmmmmmmm..

i went with the stock 'granada black pearl' (nh-503p). the car has been restored back to the deep dark black/goldish/redish tone. i'm still surprised with myself, all i ever wanted was to paint the car a dark greyish/silver color.. go figure???

jpprelude · 09-09-2002, 09:37 PM

Wow, does that include the engine bay and door sills, etc?

I like this color;

Machine Head · 09-09-2002, 10:17 PM

That includes under hood, trunk , doorsill ect. It was costing me $2400 to have all the rust/dings and dents removed, emblems shaved, and add more blue pearl to the stock color.

For another $300 I get a full color change

By the way got any pics of that BMW charcoal?

influx · 09-09-2002, 10:30 PM

machine head, try looking at graphite black pearl.

prelude2005 · 09-10-2002, 05:41 AM

umm dude...get a nice shade of a dark blue.

jnkoh · 09-10-2002, 10:04 AM

for 300 bucks, definitely, that charcoal grey looks awesome in person.

MR.CLIFFORD · 09-10-2002, 11:41 AM

As much as I love FBP I love that IS gray. I'd say do the paint job. It will be different and not stock.

jpprelude · 09-10-2002, 12:28 PM

Damn... I'm getting it. DON'T GET THAT COLOR. I want it instead.

influx · 09-10-2002, 12:45 PM

that picture you posted to begin with is that color
it just looks 10x better in person because you cant see the pearls and the reflections in that pic
