Theres a few out there, I was hoping to get my car repainted for summertime white with blue pearl but we shall see.
If you change complete colors like from white to blue, you do realize theres ALOT of work and $$$ that goes into that more so than just repainting your car the same color or not, things like the engine bay and even parts of the interior.

lol i know 
my friend owns a body shop, the agreement on the car was a complete paintjob whatever i wanted. I was considering ghost flames or something, but its not a civic so i need something a lil classier than your average. open for pics really if you have any as for the parts that need to be done inside and paint check out the links

hopefully i will have a 'custom' paint job by may ( save, save, save $$) and a cardomain page too.
im leaning towards the jdm style, black on the top of the car and the rest of it a dark grey with my rims im trying to get powder coated a clean bronze( not sure tho), like volks bronze.
show season is coming and i will be there
right now i have 1/3 paint and 2/3 primer, so its a flat black, thats kind of custom, but the no shine look gets old

JDouble, obnoxious. Really good shot of it as well.
Flavor24/7-Thats the beauty of it playa, doesnt really matter what ya think lol, I liked it thats a shot from dropjaw-they hit about 8 of my car but thanks for having an opinion. figure it was a custom mix with a fade to a blue pearl, you cant really tell what color it is.
I was thinking something along the lines of the blue, but that green is hot as well. thx for the input.

lol gotcha. The reasoning behind the swap was kinda...umm silly. previously we shaved the tails. It was fine until i got a ticket. paid my ticket the first time. Then a week later Im pulled over, so i followed up and the va regs say if its visible from 500 feet, etc etc. needless to say i beat it, but then i started getting pulled over RIDICULOUS, so i went ahead found a set of stock lights got em cheap, chopped the trunk and threw em in. 100 percent dot street legal, and to be one up i painted it again. only one ticket since

I just got done painting my forth gen!!! The color is very different... looks best in person... it's black with house of color red flake... looks black until it hit the light then it's SUPER red and glittery!!! I will try and post pics of my show that's this weekend there will be a lot of light there. Or maybe check my site and I will put some up...
