Question Paint Options: What Do You Guys Think!?!

I have an 05 civic with black 17s with chrome lip, and I just got a full lip kit and an eBay grill. I also bought black LED tail lights And some slightly Blacked out Fogs. I was planning to paint it black or maybe a dark champagne. I want it to look clean but not too flashy. If I do choose one of these colors what car model paint should I use? What color would you guys suggest? No matter what color I end up painting my car, I will open up the head lights and tail lights and paint them matching the body. I have to replace my whole back bumper, and when i bought the car it had a bunch of scratches so I am positivity painting it. There isn't very much body work being done, and my uncle is painting my car so he will really put some time into it so it will for sure be a sick paint job. What do you guys think?!?!?

Re: Paint Options: What Do You Guys Think!?!

I have a coupe and I do not recall having side moldings? And I just checked out that BMW black and its badass. I was thinking about nissans black but if i do choose to go black then it will be the BMW midnight for sure. Thank you for you input Gearbox and only 3 mins after i posted up, You are the man!
