What is your favorite color for the 2006 Civic?

[twinkle]

Why do car companies always come up with the dumbest names for colors? I also like how they make most of the paints metallic so they can charge an extra $100-$500 dollars for the paint job.

I will never buy a car without a flat paint job just because I do not want to pay their rip off charges.

Black Pearl for me. I like any dark color, the only thing that does bug me is when its dirty.

I dont like silver or white, they are far too common these days.

They come up with names just for marketing purposes really.

I really like Nighthawk Black Pearl and the blue metallic one. They both look really good in my opinion on any car.

these are the stock paints are they?
I dont think you're paying extra for them.

The 06 Honda metallic blue color is hot... so nice.
Im thinking of spraying my old car that color

But they look good

Silver looks classy, i like it. If i buy a new civic it will be silver, they aren't all that common where i live

I did not check out the actual prices, I just know it is standard issue for car companies to charge for metallic based paints.

I can confirm what Twinkle has said. I sold all the various ford products, Jaguars, Astin Martins, Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Mazda etc, and all of those lines had an extra charge for the metallics.

Which colors were sold as standard?
White, black, red etc but what else was sold without extra charge?

Sometimes they may have other colors as matte finishes, but normally you only had black and white that were not metallic. Then they would often have an off-white metallic or pearl, and also sometimes a black metallic. No doubt the metallic paint looks better, but it was like $450 more.

I'd like to vote for Fiji blue, but it's not on the poll.

[imported_Mikey]

$450 is worth it IMO.
Its a small price to pay for a unique looking car. I see too many of the common colors around.
Having something different catches peoples eye.

I had a 1956 Chevrolet Bel-Air Sport Sedan that was White over Green. That's a color scheme I liked! Does anyone think two tones will ever make a resurgence as a factory offering?

[anteater]

Not in stock form, perhaps as an option though.
I like green/purple pearl color, thats one of my fave combo colors.

I chose Galaxy Grey Metallic becasue the optional 17" HFP Alloy Wheels for the 06 Civic are painted the same color.

I have four 215/45YR-17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 XL's to go with them.
