Had a small mishap with my Fitrari yesterday and now I'm giving serious thought towards giving the body shop the go-ahead on painting it a different color for the hell of it, leaving the roof and mirrors black. My choices so far are:

Championship White
Aviator Gray(Audi TT)
Misano Red(another Audi color)
Dakar Yellow(E36 M3 color)

Any suggestions?

 

Yellow or Dark Metallic Green

 

I like aviator grey, it's a nice colour.

 

If you get Championship White with a black roof it kinda looks like a tC but its your car. Aviator Grey looks nice tho.

 

dont do aviator grey!!! i was planning on doing that color

 

DONUT KING PINK!!!

 

Thats a RIOT!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That is what I wanted to say and one of them was not even a choice that was givin! HAAhaaha

THOSE TWO...EITHER OR FTW!!!


REXXXXXXXXX- thats just cruel!

...yeah you kinda gotta give kelsodeez that one color just so we have diversity

 

I'm kind of leaning towards the Dakar Yellow, leaving only the mirrors and the roof Nighthawk Black Pearl.




I've owned a '98 Type R and loved Championship White, but I've also owned 2 STIs, an Evo 9, and an Audi S4, all of them in white, so a change would be nice.

 

Champ White!!!!! I want my Fit this color also.
However, Id never do a full repaint on a brand new car unless it was a factory matched color. Thatll come back at you during resell.

 

The grey or the yellow would be tight!

Cat :x

 

something along the lines of forrest green. like a dark rich green...WITH GOLD pearl!

droools.

i think the dude said his car was some kinda bmw green with gold pearl. i thought it looked sweet when i rolled up to it. he had gold enkei rpf1's

i thought it was a good combo

 

I was thinking the same thing Mx6GT89.I won't paint the car any aftermarket color because,when you sell it(maybe for the next gen.Fit)you will have a hell of a time selling it to the dealer without taking a huge lose(if they'll even buy it from you).Stick with the factory color,you won't be sorry.

 

I agree with the don't do it posters. Painting a car a different color adds alot of work to do right, painting door jams, trunk lip edges, under hood etc. I wouldn't change a cars color. (Total restorations are another thing.)

 

yea, i also say hold out. the factory paint is such bad quality that it will be no time at all when you actually NEED a new paint job. every time i want to paint my car, i get about two thirds behind the idea, and then talk some sense into myself and ultimately i dont do it. usually because i save the money and then with cash in hand, i find something else more useful to spend it on.

 

Thanks for the responses!

I'm really not concerned about resale value because I bought this car to replace my hooptie Civic Wagon. Even after hitting the pole I said to myself, "Thank God this wasn't my STI or Evo". I would've had a heart attack.

Painting the door jambs etc. isn't a priority since the car is black already.

 

why the lambo orange or green...

 

Well i agree with white. White and black will look so hot. But if you dont have to do it then dont. Just too much to go wrong imo. Whats best for you but white sounds great.

 

white or Dakar Yellow=hot... LAGUNA SECA BLUE! (E46 M3!) hahaha

 

i would paint it a dark shade of green

 

crap brown FTW!!!!!


no seriously, Yellow looks tight as seen on top of the page like a canary yellow----> was gonna paint my old si this color but decided not too, always loved the color though
