I recently came apon $1200 by cleaning out the garage and selling the crap i found. I decided to use the money to purchase a body kit and and paint job. I've settled on the buddy club body kit. Don't wory, its not played out over here in Florida like it is in Cali. Everybody over here gets those Bitz body kits that look like they have buck teeth(not a slam on owners of the Blitz b/c, I just dont prefer it). What i need is opinions on the color i shoul paint it. I've found three colors i like: plain white, escalade blue, and that orange color that comes on 350Zs. By the way my car is a '92 civic hatch. Oh yea, if anyone has an estimate on the cost to paint the body and engine bay, plz post it. If $1200 isnt enough, it'll at leat go a long way toward it. Thanks for any help.

I think you should go with the blue. Where do u live in FL cause my dad paints cars?

I think you should get the NS black that comes on mustangs, damn, it is so close to mirror finish. Or get electronic pearl blue, with Si wheels, i saw one before like that, damn, it was sweet

I live about 30 mile outside of Panama City. To 95dxcivic, the blue pearl is a good idea, but there are too many balck civics around here. On the subject of the Si wheels, I plan on getting 17s for a future big brake kit. Still, if anyone knows about how much it would cost to paint the body and engine bay, please post. Thanks for the suggestions. Peace

My opinion to you is to paint your car a color that no one around you has. Be original. Paint it a color that might describe you or shows how you feel. There's a lot of options out there. If you find someone real cool to paint your car, they might even hook you up by mixing different colors to come up with something totally different. Take your time and pick a color you can be happy with for a while. $1200 can take you a long way, especially if you find the right place.

due that kinda has alot to do with your personality and the cars personality as well. like if your car is really fast or just a daily driver i would go with the blue. it will make it look good and if its fast thta will make it look better. plus white is hard to keep looking good if you drive it all the time. if its a show car then go with the white you just have to keep the whole package looking sharp to make plain white look spectacular.like if you add a lil silver or a lil pearl to it it would pop.if you like flash go with the orange.good for show and showing of. personally i like the house of kolor pagan gold with lots of gold flake in it. but thats me . i love that sparkle.

even though the meanest looking cars are black i really like pink. its an attention getter. anyone who wouldnt sport it is probaly afriad of the attention. you know cant handle it. plus chicks dig it

Pink is the new Black

puahahahahaha werd ^^^

I look in fruity in my pink tee
Weird in my pink tee
People think that i go both ways in my pink tee
I look sweet in my pink tee
Funny in my pink tee
Got a purple thong to go along with my pink tee
No drawers with my pink tee
Look lame in my pink tee
Forget a female i get a man in my pink tee

Tee can also be replaced with car

I happen to have the luxury of looking fast and going fast but who cares if he does or not. Its his friggin car right? What are you Ricochet? The performance police?

Pink would definitly get attention but I would go with black

so have you made a decision about your cars new paint yet?

Flaming like has taken place in this thread will not be tolerated.

Ricochet, you are an ass of the highest order, who likes to bully the kids in the Civic DX who worship your car, because of the motor you have in it.

I'm not letting a valid thread, with a valid question, get locked, because you happen to disagree with how the kid is spending his money, so I have deleted all your posts in this thread, and all quotes of it.

I see your Royal Assness posting vile crap like this again, as opposed to actually giving advice, as I happen to agree with your assessment, just not the way you're going about it, I will ban you.

carnut, you have a pm.

please don't do anything to get your ass banned. You are the one sane voice in this community.

I would say getting the electric blue pearl or whatever the color was for the 99-00 si's I am madly in love with that color. Or you could do what most of the kids do around here. To have a really sporty agressive look try primer and never ever paint it or clean it so it aquires that lovely dirt brown on the primer. Thats when you know your a hardcore racer!

hey everybody. sorry i havent posted on my thread, my internet has been f*@ked up for the past few days. Thanks for all the suggestions and support. One thing I have to say is: Stop all the son of a bitchn' flamin! I'm sick of all the hate going around in the Honda forum (despite the last thread i started entitled "who do you hate more???") . Racers hating on show car guys, auto-x guys hating on drag racers, and especially domestic people hating on everone else. I think that if you dont agree with something, keep you damn trap shut. Just curious because I've heard different things but, if you go get your car sprayed, will they pull the motor for you and do the engine bay or do you have to tow the empty shell down to the paint shop? Again, thanks for any help and I'm glad to have gotten that off my chest.


Hondas 4 Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there are a lot of different ways that you can have a car painted and each has its own cost. if you want them to just mask things and spray the body it will be cheaper than if you want them to pull the motor and paint the bay as well. you will have to check in with some body shops as prices will vary and they can also give you advice on what would be the best way for you to go

i think you sould paint it gun metal

I sure as heck have never seen it done. If anyone ever paints their car with that, I have to see a picture of it!!! That'd be crazy, LOL.

i think you should black it out and get si wheels and powder coat them black then tint the windows to w/e the limit is

either charcoal grey, or jet black will do the job!

Resurection from the dead.

I would paint some kind of chameleon color.

Resurection from the dead...yet again.
