yea someone hit my rear bumper.. and scratched my door.
and the front of my car has alot of stone chips...

soo i was like why not paint the whole car..

and i thought this colour looked pretty nice but i just wanted everyones opinion and see if they like it or not

I think this colour is not cheesy and would look good on the tsx

How much is that going to run you?

I don't think an expensive job is worth changing shades but a cheap one isn't worth anything. (I don't mean to imply your going to cheap out)

i got to paint the bumper and the door cuz of the accident but they dont usually just paint the door and bumper alone they gotta blend and stuff etc etc... and i wanted to get the front end painted cuz of all the stone chips..so basically im painting close to 3/4 of the car anyways.

i get a pretty good deal cuz i work at honda and we have a body shop and the painter and i are buddies soo yea basically i pay for materials at cost and some beer and time

i just want to know if this is a good color to paint my car.
but i do get what you mean also

It's ok but it doesn't really jump out at me like "wow, that's a wicked color." Also, if you ever get any OEM exterior parts, like lip kits or spoilers, you'll have to repaint them.

i like it, sometimes i wish i should have gotten dark Grey or some sort

Eventually I am going to repaint my car GPW.

I say no to the color, looks cheap.

tpfu85 · 10-14-2009, 02:18 PM

I have always liked that color, and if it is just the cost of the paint and a few beers then definitely go for it. Although like Willy said above, think about if you are planning to get exterior parts as well. If you are, then maybe you should get those parts now and then paint. Post pics if you can.

its a pretty color but I would go with something else

tsx4life · 10-14-2009, 03:48 PM

id probably paint exterior parts at the same time.. soo i can get perfect colour match..

kuma912 · 10-14-2009, 04:07 PM

I'd go with a different color.

Yea i kinda didnt want to stand out like crazy... i wanted a nice sleek kinda look...

i was just picturing that colour, nice set of rims like work vs-xx wheels silver in colour not to shiny lol.. lower it ... and nice sleek lip kit (euro possibly) and a nice low tone/ quiet exhaust .. mybe greddy sp2.. thats probably my plans for the car
