Sorry, but I think its ugly. I like more traditional colours. Honda and Acura have some very nice OEM colours. Why not pick a colour from another Honda?

traditional colours are too bland for me, everyone has silver, red, blue all the common colours. I want the paint to stand out

Tango Red Pearl or Royal Blue Pearl are both very nice colours from the 06+ civics. Very different and rare.

Acura had an RSX coulour that was this tangerine orange colour. It was very cool too.

tangerine orange you dont see much. But I was planning a green exterior with silver interior and some green parts like my amp and air ride tank. With the orange I dunno what I could match it to

No I think you're mistaken, at least for Honda's OEM colours. I think they have one of the worst colours. Their paint look very cheap and bland. Compare the silver paint from a VW car and that of Honda, it blows Honda out of the way. Looks better than the silver on the Porsches too, shame on them.

The colours Acura offer are better but some are boring like Honda's. Their pearl whites and blues from TSX and RSX are nice though. The other Japanese manuf. offer nice colours for sure like Mazdas but Honda colours seem a bit bland.


I wouldn't paint the car green though, just my opinion. Go for the blue colour from TSX instead.

Looks good Barry!.. altho tangerine orange with some heavy flake would look nice too!.. and you could still use the silver inside too.

What about the new rootbeer color on the Elements? I love that color, it's so different, new this year... I'm not a huge fan of green, I've seen it alot at the shows, you want something clean, but classy.
