    Default Needs a bit of body work, but what color should i paint it??? ~projectDB1inside~

    Oh and before anyone says anything... Sorry about the blurry evening pics, i do not own a tripod and was in a hurry snapping the pictures... ...But thats not the point of this thread, the point is... I'm wondering what some of you guys think would be an okay color for me to paint my car, that would somewhat match with my wheels?

    The stock color is like that bright red color but i think it may have faded slightly because it was slightly orange as well.... But when i got the car it had red, primer, white, and black on it so i had to get rid of that asap...lol

    Once you fix all the bodywork and such, I'd go with a nice Gunmetal/dark grey type of color.

    You should keep it some sort of black, as I doubt you'd properly execute a full color change.

    Lol, it wont be ME painting the car though, its definately going to a shop... Not sure which one yet though, i got a recommendation from the Acura dealership in Gwinnett of a place to go with...

    I thought about just getting another matte black job, only more professional looking, sorta like that one Silvia that shows up to Varsity sometimes:boobies:

    Its your car, paint it w/e color you want. I think I'd have to go with that Galapagos Green, Uproot, stated above. Pretty hot color on the hatch. Although, I'm not sure how it would look on a 4 door integra. That or a metallic brownish color. Something sparkly of course.

    Slammed is slammed. There really isn't a different conception on it. Yours is very much lowered. Slammed is tucking. No matter what. Yours I'd call dropped.

    Not only do I hate it when people refer to anything lowered as slammed, but with all the slam talk, I am now slamming my CVCC. I was hoping to be out of doing that, but I am having it done as we type, lolol.

    There is a old list of the terms for the different ride heights:
    Lowered, dropped, dumped and slammed with dumped and slammed being about the same. Dumped is just more of a new school term.

    Not taking away from your car, though, dude. I bet that will look nice when you get done with it. Later, QD.

    I've actually never heard of "housed." And I agree. Tuner's car looks great the way it sits. No wheel gap is perfect. And the way his tires are flush with the edge is awesome. Later, QD.

    AMEM! Hallelujah! Preach it brother!

    And on the paint....if all your door jams and under hood, trunk etc are still red...paint the car a nice red, Porsche had a NICE RED...but there are many others out there as well...something that might blend pretty well with the door jams and such. Car would look HOT and you would either 1. Save money on all the jams....or 2. Not have a half painted car that people balk at as soon as you open a door. Just a thought....in the long run you gotta do what makes YOU happy and the matt black...is always a good look!
