Hey guys im thinkin of getting my car repainted sometime soon. i know this guy who said he would do it for cheap and all i need to know now is what color to paint it. http://ludedudesi.tripod.com/ heres the link to pics of my car. i want the new color to go well with my interior and my wheels. i was thinkin that graphite grey that everyone is getting. i like the grey that the new dodge pickups are coming in. other than that color what would yall suggest that would look good with my wheels and would look ok with the interior colors that i have? please help... thank you

candy apple green

i dont the think navy and silver interior will flow very well with candy apple green. im thinkin a tint or silver or a dark blue. i may just repaint it the same silver.

I'd go with the epb, dark blue or black.

Believe it or not, pretty much any color can go with any interior. I think the car's fine how it is. The stock Honda paint is very expensive stuff, since the paint's stil shiny and everything, I'd leave it how it is. It's a nice color anyway. It's shiny, but doesn't show dirt.

actually the paint isnt that shiny and it does show dirt. i also have many spots on the car that look horrible and i have many door dings.

Doesn't show in the picture, but if you really don't like it and I can't convince you to keep the color, I'd go with a medium to dark blue for some quiet gloss. The Navy blue that your seats are would look nice on the car. I mean the more you're willing to wash and wax it, the darker you can go.
