well after my lil body kit accident...ive decided to change the look of my car...the cost in repairing the damage was $500 and the shop said that my paint was 80% to stock becuz the first paint shop i went to painted over my whole car!!! and he can get it to 95% back to stock and i was hoping to get my stock eternal blue pearl back after gettin the damages fixed, but theres no way of buffing it out, he said i have to paint the whole car again...so having that said...i want to change the look...i wanna go to lips...n get it repainted...and i was thinking that it would be a waste of gettin my eternal blue pearl back when i can get a different color...this shop that im going to is a lot better...he did my friends 03 accord the LONG BEACH BLUE PEARL nsx blue (wish i took pix)...his cost $1800, i can get my whole car repainted for the same price...and im having a tough decision...and was hoping you guys can help me out...what color should i get?

1. 04 civic Fiji Blue = B-529p
2. 01-03 s2000 Grand Prix White = NH-565 (dont see much diff. between this white and the tafetta white...)
3. 01-03 civic Tafetta White = NH-578 (dont see much dff. between this white and the Grand Prix White...)
4. 04 civic Magnesium Metallic = NH-675M
5. OR get it repainted as Eternal Blue Pearl...

i dont want any custom candy paint or anything like that becuz my friend said that if i lose contact with the shop or they close down for some reason...then i cant get it redone if i were to have problems due to the difficulty of matching the custom candy paint...if i get a stock color paint from other cars with the color code...it would be easier for other shops if i were to go to a different shop...first shop i went to sucked!

what do you guys think?
**TESTING WATERS: Octane front bumper, Octane side skirts, Buddy Club 1 rear bumper (all painted Eternal Blue Pearl) [Buddy Club 1 rear bumper has minor crackage due to my accident (fixable)] full kit combination=$550 ALSO ON SALE: gReddy evo1 axleback: $150 BUT SPECIAL PRICE full kit + gReddy = $675**

why not 99 Civic Si blue.. i've always been partial to that

i dont know the paint code

if you go to any paint shop that deals with Dupont paint they will have a color chip book that contains every color that has ever been created.. no joke its a cool book

if you cant find a shop that has one of those books go into any local home paint store and look at the paint chip wall... grab some samples... and see if a shop near you can replicate the color you want

IMO i think your ride would look tight with the metallic magnesium... especially with those vx-8's

What you're talking about is Electron Blue

Anyways, you have some really good options in paint color but I think I'd paint my car S2k white.

so far im stuck with magnesium metallic...or either one of the whites...its like 52% magnesium metallic vs. 48% of any of the whites...im still debating...i can get the money soon, im gonna borrow from my cousin...n pay him back as time passes...but i still need more opinions...i was thinking of the magnesium metallic first but then i thought it might be too much of the gunmetal type color cuz my rims are gunmetal...and if i were to decide to change the color of the rims, theres really no other choice other than gunmetal than gloss black, or silver...i cant seen any other color with magnesium metallic...if i go white...i can go pretty much any other color rim, i can go white/gold, white/gunmetal, white/white (<--ehh!), white/gloss black...etc...i was thinking of going to the white/gold look if i were to go white...im sooo indecisive, i was hoping to get more opinions from you guys...
