I am just getting started in modeling again from when I was younger. I went to hobby lobby and got some half off kits, one of them is a '00 civic si. I wanted to paint it Electron Blue Pearl like the real one. Here is a pic of an EBP Prelude:

I have Tamiya TS-50 blue mica spray paint to paint my Subaru WRC car, but I think it will be too dark. Any suggestions or experience would be appreciated!

I have an Electron Blue Pearl '00 Si, and when I get around to building my Si kit, I'm gonna go buy the real automotive paint. I can get you the paint code from my car if you'd like to try the same.

I have the code, it is b-95p. Seems expensive though, I found spray cans of it that were like $30. I was hoping to find a combination that would be cheaper :)

Forget Electron Blue Pearl, Go with Yellow. Everyone knows yellow makes it faster :ylsuper:

Also, a paint shop will need one more letter to the paint code to mix it right. Honda apparently does it weird...

Paint it gunmetal instead.
