Steel Gray... best. color. ever.

Yes, I know it's not a super intense ricer color, but it looks awesome without making your car stand out to the point of looking tacky.

if i had the chance to repaint my car it would be royal blue metallic or house of colors kandy orange.

IF your serious about painting your car, make sure the work is done professional and not some lazy **** job. you can choose the sickest color out their but it wont satisfy you with a shitty job.

Hmmm - tough question. I would give a few examples of the colors you're looking into so everyone can choose from the choices you like rather then suggesting things you may not like at all. Try to find some photos of cars with the colors you're looking into and then go from there. If it were up to me though I would look into a real nice blue - kinda like the electron blue pearl on the 5thgen prelude
