I can't decide what color to paint my car. I want to try thinking from a different angle...
What do you think would be the worst color to paint a 7th gen civic? And Why?

**** brown. For obvious reasons.
You realize you're not going to get anything but people's least favorite colors with this thread, right?
Oh, and how's the car coming? Any progress?

Didn't you already have a thread on what colour to paint your car?? I recall a vote of like 10 or 11 different colours, or was that someone else?

It's coming along pretty well. I'm being so ridiculously/purposely **** with the 'flatness' of the car, because I want to be 110% sure that when it comes out of the paint booth, I can look down the side and NOT see any wrinkles/wave. Other then that It's coming along well, I've been flattening out the waves and stuff. I just got a quart of primer, and a new sanding block, so I'm going to bring it in to get primer, so I'll post pics when I do that of course.
**** brown sounds like a bad idea, but what do you think about 'root beer' brown?

No no, you're right, that was me. That thread certainly helped me a good amount get an idea of what colors to look at, but I still wanted to get some more input on paint, thought I would try a process of elimination kinda thing...

Root beer brown??? If its anything like the magnesium color on 04-05 civics would be great. Those civics with that color look sweet but I don't like it on any other car for some reason.

Black is the worst... Not because it looks bad but just because it shows EVERY little scratch and swirl...
I would go with Acura's Carbon Bronze Pearl... OMG I LOVE that color. Its so different.

yeah, no kidding...i just found my FIRST dent ... about the size of a dime on the top of my fender . Almost like a dent from hail. If there is a flaw it will show on a black car. But i love the color!

i would definitely agree about the pink, purple, brown, and would say baby blue, bright orange and neon green are also pretty nasty colors (on vics anyway).

I hate the clover green our car comes in, so nothing close to that
I love the Ridgeline Green that was offered 2 years ago on Ridgelines and Pilot

Carbon bronze pearl? Is that on the TL?
I think I'll stay away from anything brown.
