Where to find colors for my car

[Tony]

Well, finally got some new pics of my car last week. Would have had them on here by now, but just finally got the computer back. Got fried last week cause my house got possesed. Now I just have to find where I put that disc with the pics on it. Either way back to the subject.

After taking my hub caps off, I have realized that I really like the sleeper look. I am planning on keeping the car white, and get some black wheels for it. My question is, does anyone know where I can go on the net to look at all the different colors of white that might be out there. I know that is asking for a lot, for those that know how many different shades of white there is, but the main white that I wanna see is the Championship White from Honda, I don't know what model it came out on, but I have been told to paint it that white, but I want to see it first.

Also, thinking about just putting the full WW kit on there. I know it is played out, but its a nice subtle kit. At first I was planning on going WW SS and Rear bumper, and R33 Front bumper, but I think the WW full kit will look more stock than the R33 front bumper. Tell me what you think.

I'll upload some pics once I find out where I put that damn disc at, or go back out there and take some more.

if you are having a shop paint it...ask to see the color charts. different places use different paint.

there seems to be Napa stores everywhere. go to one and check out their color books.

you could be inventive like travis_118. he saw a vehicle (in his case a bravada) he liked the stock color of. then you just go down to the dealership and have them look up the paint code

good luck! i could never make up my mind...so i'm staying the stock rio red, lol

WW kit is not played out.


Anyshop will be able to mix any color of paint you want. So ask to see their paint charts. Or start looking

yes any shop can mix a color. but some shops only use martin senyor and some only use ppg. they have different color codes. you might pick a ppg color and the shop chose doesn't have ppg.

Well, you go to a shop with your color shade, and they should be able to mix that color. Im not talking about going to shop A, asking for their color code chart, then going to shop B, and asking them to paint with that code.

Yea, I know how the color codes worked, just didn't know if there was any place on the net to look at them. I can mix my own paint up at school, just gotta find out what I want to go with, thinking about White with a nice blue pearl in it, but don't know, going to be awhile before it gets done. Hopefully next semester it will be a project in school and get primered. I'm tired of the 20 different shades of white that is on it.

Yea, yea, yea, I know the WW kit is played out, but I'm starting to like it more just for the subtle look it gives. The only other kit like that is the JDM conversion, and I'm not a giant fan of it...still like it, just not my fav.

I really like the Championship White that's on the EK Civic Type-R... just a suggestion though
