what color should i paint my car?

well i was invloved in a accident as sum of you know, and since my uncle owns the bodyshop its only a little more to get the entire car painted..

now i was thinking 1 of two colors

dark shade of mint green with cf trunk cf hood and keep the roof black and jus do a new clear over it.

or 2006 rsx vivid blue pearl with cf trunk, hood, and keep the roof black.


or anyone that has any suggestions lemme know

btw i have gold work equips so its gotta make it look sick.

When you say Mint Gren, I'm assuming you're thinking of Midori, which is ABSOLUTLEY the most OVERPLAYED color out. PLEASE, for gods sake don't paint your car that color. Perhaps the Galapagos Green from the 1st Gen Element.

It's a nice color. A guy in my club has his Type-S in that color, and when he keeps it clean (no pun intended), it is very sparkly
