hey guys im thinking of painting my civic its standard red with a few touch up jobs but starting to fade big time and i wasnt realy feeling the darkish red. so i bought a liter of a brighter colour just to paint my cf bonnet.. i also painted my mirrors black.. do you think it will look alright if i did the rest of the car the same brighter red?
by the way the pics dont do it justice looks more like a faint orange in the pics but its a brighter red colour in real life. and it hasnt been cleaned or polished after repaint so will be a bit brighter..
opinions welcome :)
cheers, roy

i dont think two different shades of red on the car looks good.
id either paint the bonnet black or respray it in the factory colour
