Suggestions please!

I have a 97' Civic coupe. It needs paint, I already sanded it and now i can't decide on a color, I like a lot of different colors on that car. So can you guys suggest some? i have blacked out lights along with blackrims btw. Thank you!

My favorite color has always been navy blue or any blue close to that shade like fiji blue pearl,but that's my opinion.It's your car.Choose a color that suits you and your personality.But one more thing,I don't like black on black.Like a black car with black rims and blacked out headlights.

Re: Suggestions please!

Yes,electron blue is over used because a lot of people bought 6th gen Si's in electron blue so every time I see a 6th gen Si it's electron blue.It's a very popular re-paint color for all 6th gen Civics too.Maybe a type of red would look nice or a different shade of blue.Nothing that stands out a lot though.

Re: Suggestions please!

Kinda OT but what did you use to sand down the paint? Did you remove all the panels and sand them down?

Mind posting a pic of the car?

I'm thinking of painting my own car too but thinking of using the $50 paint job method.
