depends on your interior. Mine is maroon in and out. I am probably gunna stick with the factory color but with some tweaking to make it shine and maybe a very subtle color change.

My friend has a 97 Civic EX with about 12k under the hood alone. His paint is called Fire Copper Metallic Pearl and looks like a brand new penny in the sun to an orangeish rust color at night. Also has ghost flames up the hood and front fenders. I havent talked to him in years so I dont know if he still has it but it was the fastest all motor civic in jacksonville last time i saw the numbers.

"D"

 

I'm looking for a new metallic one. Firts thinking on metallic orenge, finally it will be metallic dark blue (as actual celicas or Ravs)

if you do that..ur not gonna leave the engine bay and shit like that maroon are you?.....cause damn..that would be hideous.

 

Je, je, NO. Now engine is out the car, and they will paint first the engine bay in that blue (M06 Toyota code, but not sure) and later the rest of the car

 

I'm in the same boat you are, I'm planning on pain't my MKIII when i lose my license this winter !!!!!DAMN!!!!! but I've always wanted a very glossy Jet black supra.... so I'm planning on doing that when I get the cash.

 

whatever you do, make sure you match your interior, or else it will just look like shit. I wouldn't go too heavy on the flake either, as it would make the paint look cloudy. I wouldn't use more than 1 teaspoon per cup (meaning average full container on paint gun).

 

RSP, code 8L5

 

I say go black, imo.

 

black, there is no other way.

 

I'll going through the same thing youe doing, and personally, I believe white or black is the best for any year mk3

 

go with like a ferrari red or something

 

mid night blue or tropical blue

 

go with like a ferrari red or something

:stupid:

 

okay i have grey interior, and yes i would love blak[with a purple flake] but i'm leaning toward a red......mainly so i don't have to pull my engine to get a decent spray in the engine bay.

does anyone have stock mkiv colors and codes or some other really cool reds, close to stock for my maroon prefurably

 

black or midnight blue

 

try something that you don't see here, but a stock color such as the dark dark green on JZA70s

 

I have a black one, and its staying black. I want it to be glossy, but hey im broke

 

super red is the only way to go!!! this is my old N/A after i had it repainted

 

TopSecret GOLD... no joke... aight peace

 

Super Red with House of Kolor Pearl Orange flames!

Seriously, go find a Dupont Automotive paint dealer and look at their new line of paints called "Hot Hues", they're awesome.

 

SlimFastSupra i was thinking about the jade green from the 97 AE car, but i dunno if that would look cool or not.

silverinferno84, not knocking the paint, but that dosn't do a thing for me.....at all. noce body though and love the bling bling sawblades.

what i've decided is that i'm going to stay 'close to stock'...i have no reason to remove my engine and the more i drive my car the more i like my color[well at least the parts with the new paint from the accident fix;D] anyway....im thinking about options i don't want flames or flame outlines, or even ghost flames!!!

so what do you guys think pearl?, flake?, candy?.....maybe a litlle cameleon if it could be done like.....maybe stock varying to purple or blue or even just other shades of red at the least

i'd appriceate your input....

 

PINK

 

My car is black, But I personally really like the way becauseIcan's car looks in silver with the molding deleted.
Most important is like everyone says, engine bay and door jambs painted same color, and interior matching. Definitely worth seeking out a quality shop.

 

PINK

:lol: i never seen that one

 

Honestly, with a Maroon interior I'd either go black or stick with Maroon. I've always wondered about the maroon-ish color seen on the C5 vettes, I think that color would be an awesome color for a MK3.
