which one looks better
so i m about to paint my civic. I have a silver one and i was supposed to just painted the same colour. However i may get my guy to paint it a different colour for around the same price (hopefully ) ... So i m debating between 2 colours ... I personally like the orange a little more but my wife keeps saying the blue looks better... opinions
I have a 4 door civic ...

thanks for the replys
I like the orange a lot too. The only problem like i said before is that the bodyshop is telling me that if i want to change the colour of the car they have to paint the inside too. They say it wont look right to have the car painted orange in the outside and silver everywhere else.
In order to paint the whole care orange it would cost me twice as much...

If you are going to do a full paint colour change, then get a FULL paint colour change. Don't cheap out, otherwise your 2 toned car will look ghetto, especially when someone opens a door.
Oh, and my choice out of the 2 colours you mention would be burnt orange.

Exactly what I was thinking. Unless the inside of the door jambs, under the hood and trunk lid are going to be painted too, it will lok cheap. Paint it the same colour of silver or a subtle variation of it. A slightly darker shade of silver maybe.

I don't like either colour to be honest.
A fresh paint of your silver would look hot. Not to mention my EG is painted and I paid to have all the door seals and trim painted so it would'nt look ghetto, but mine did'nt cost me twice as much to get it done?? You should shop around getting the trim painted should'nt be that much?
