Paint!

Im looking to repaint my civic but im having some trouble deciding on the color I should choose, I dont know what would look best on it.


also does anyone know a website where you can preview paint on a car
to see what it would look like?

the best thing to do for color is jsut role down to a paint store and take a look at all there mixes and jsut kidna see what you like. as for color o na car well i think ive heard of one but the honest truth is the les schwab wheel previewer thing. you can get a basic idea for what your wanting. but how much are you lookin to spend on paint and well the job itself. and who might be doing it for u.

yeah if you go to tirerack.com you can see how different wheels look on your car but you can also see the different colors the car comes in so that should give you a basic idea

Find a color you like on another car and get the paint code from it.
Or at least the year and make, you can cross reference it at the
paint store for the code.
The little paint chips at the paint store can be very misleading
compared to seeing on an entire car.

well dont always trust a paint code because they are alot of times slightly different. and honestly i wouldnt do a oem color unless you wanna spend liek a grand for paint alone.

If you want a factory color buy one from one of the economical lines
that most big brands have.
DuPont has one called Nasson, it's good paint and
you can get most colors for under $200.00 a gallon.
It won't be a perfect match, but you won't be able to see the
small differences unless you hold a sample right up to an original.
Lot's of non brand paint brands out there that can be mixed to any
factory color you like.
