What color is my car?

Hey, I was just wondering what color is my car, it says its Vogue Silver Metallic Clear coat NH-583M, but it seems to me to be a lot darker then what it shows here

and from what I can tell it hasn't been repainted, here is sum pics of my car. I just want to make sure I get the right paint, thanks

Re: What color is my car?

Not sure if you read some of the stuff on the site, but, it's hard to be accurate especially if you're looking at it through the computer screen (and those color charts they give to you in dealerships), also different angles can make your car look darker/lighter. Even in the pics you've provided, the car is different shades.

Your best bet in getting the right paint is going to the dealership and getting it if all you want is touch up paint.

Re: What color is my car?

That's a beautiful grey, but definitely not a color that 6th gen's were painted. The previous owner must've had an aftermarket paint job done. Check underneath the carpet; people often don't paint the interior part of the chassis because it's always concealed. Also, unless it's an EM1, the skirts would be black and not the same color as the car. Vogue Silver Metallic is a much brighter color and would've shown no matter the angle you shot the photos from.

Shows every color (including a photo) of all 6th gen civics. The closest paint colors to your car were only available in EDM or JDM markets.

Re: What color is my car?

take it to a body shop and have them do a paint analysis. usually they can match it to a paint code and tell you the color. it does not look stock tho and depending on the previous owner, it could be one of millions of different colors.

Yeah, I checked under the carpet and it was a bright silver like they had on the website, so it was repainted. Thanks for all the help guys, I guess im going to have to take it to a body shop to get the right color. thanks again
