ok i have a 6th gen civic ex coupe with a full tsunami body kit and touring spoiler. I also have 17" konig monsoon's, and clear headlamps, gunmetal gen 2 altezzas and eyelids.

Now it's time for a paint job and i'm in need of good colors to paint it. I'm thinknig s2000 gunmetal because my car is silver right now and i like the not too flashy but rael sleek look of it. do you guys have any colors in mind?

do this instead...

paint it white, get a cf hood, some bronze rims or spoon sw388s to get that jdm look. hard to pull it off since you got a coupe, but it still looks clean.

or

paint it ebp and be like a Si

Lets see a 6th gen T2000 kit, hmmmm... eternal blue from the 01 Civic, Maroon looks good, royal sapphire pearl from the 94+ Supra-had that on my 6th gen witha BM kit, Gunmetal would be a good choice. Get a color that is far from a stock Honda color but not to extreme.

Stay away from yellow it will look like shit with your kit.

6th Generation huh? Well right now I would say paint the car copper, and then get yourself a carbon fibre hood, and a nice set of black rims.

thanks guys....i'm gonna look into the supra sapphire color, and keep thinking about the gunmetal... yeah.. yellow is nice, but not with my kit and rims. i really can't afford a cf hood or new rims with the paint job, so my options are limited. also hard for me to go jdm with the stuff i already got on the car. Keep the ideas coming!!

i'd say EBP but you'd get bagged on for not havin an Si and tryin to pawn it off as one even if that's not your intention. i'd say red (i don't know the exact color code of the red si) but yeah, like the red Si
either that or a nice pearl white

Silver. The last time someone asked this question more than half the people said silver. Must be a different group this time around.

That is a good silver, but I'm not sure about the orange. I like orange, just not on a car. Stands out too much. The police will be on you everytime you go a bit too fast.

Hey Civicfreak, you can't post pictures from your harddrive. You have to upload it to a photohosting site and post the link. Or you can just post an attachment which is easier.
