What color to paint my car? - Honda Prelude Forum

proeliator38 · 07-07-2008, 04:58 PM

I hate the color of my car as much as I hate the Florida Gators so its going back to being red(the door jams are red and i'm cheap). The problem is i haven't made up my mine for which red i want to paint it. Its either San Marino Red or Milano Red. The car stock color was R-81 Milano Red but i kinda like a deeper red so idk but here are pics of the car as it is now......

I figure in about 4 to 5 paychecks i will have enough money to paint the gator named Kaileena (IDK i was playing Prince of Persia instead of studying for my Macroeconomics's test

)

Milano Red w/super gloss ftw! And yea no offense, orange does not suit that car.

Paint it Pacific Blue pearl. IMO, the best color made on 4th gens

I think they only made the 94 S and a few 94/95 Si's in this color or something like that. Either way it looks sweet and not really common

Yeah I am in love with the B68-P Pacfic blue pearl color especially jmai86 prelude but getting painted red would be cheaper since it was originally milano red. IDK now you really got me thinking about that color

If you are looking for a darker red. Milano is not for you. Milano is a red with a slight blueish pearl to it. For you i would reccomend San Marino

Im not sure what it's called, but my old Prelude was like a dark red, and it was real nice.

I think it was called Milano Red.

Yeah i've seen san marino red on the new accord when i was at the dealership to test drive the s2000 for kicks lol but yeah i think that color fits the lude better then milano red

i would say pacific blue, like darkbluelude, but i would say go back to the san marino. I'm all about cars matching the engine bay/door jams.
