Does anyone know who owns this Civic, or better yet, what the colour is?

thats mine now, i bought it earlier this year.
just had a major detail done a few weeks back and it came up amazing. to be truthful, the prep work was average as u can see irregularities in the metal work such as pits and gouges, but the actual colour and spray work was good. there was some run marks and a hair or 2 in the paintwork, but only under floodlights.
the colour is not a stock honda colour, its a nissan colour. i had to get the roof resprayed as the sunroof mechanism is broken and it left major scratches along the roof. i took it to autobody magic in brookvale and they matched it pretty easy, cant tell the difference.
i can call in tomorrow and ask for the colour paint code if u want pete.
btw, the car is an 1995 eg5, running a b18cr. its a great daily and im very happy with it. no problems with it, except for a cel but i think its a maf sensor
here r some recent pics, excuse the iphone pics

Nothing. My son saw the car and was curious about it as it was obviously a custom colour.

Gtking was the previous owner on the forums. Can't recall his name, Peter I think. Anyway, he said he was a mechanic and did the work himself.
I'm happy with it, besides having to replace a few worn parts such as tyres, brakes, radiator, rotors, clutch mc, brake mc. Which is to expected in an old car it's been great
Care to shed some light on the car, good or bad. Any reason he chose the colour, etc
