[TheSaint]

[owens14]

I was thinking of a candy apple red herd it's expensive I was told but look nice. Thnx guys

[dougie_504]

Milano?

[da12nv]

dont paint it candy red as its hard to match if something happens and is expensive, im a painter. but i agree with velocity red on the mazda rx8's and 6's.

[owens14]

Yeah I wasn't going to go candy even though it's a sick colour. Yeah I'm going with the velocity thnx guys

I reckon Milano red is always the best and most suitable with eg civic

if you are thinking or other red

Milano red - 08C53-TR811

I mixed a red pearl with a blue pearl into the original red for mine. So i didnt have to match engine bay. Like a pinky purple shine looks good may nt suit a guy tho depending on how atrong. If i have to repair i have to spray the whole loot fat chance of matching it. :-)

If you're going red this colour look pretty nice - genuine Honda colour too: Cyan Red Pearl B-74P

Fark thats really nice :D

though id imagine tryna look after that color would be 24/7 job lol

He even done the engine bay.... WIN WIN

[Alvis]

HA, I was just looking at that - he did too do the engine bay as well!

But yeh, that would be err... 'fun' looking after that colour :)

Anyone know what front spoiler he has on? I've never seen that one before - looks fantastic IMO and looks like a tidy fit too

Reviving this thread, anyone got paint suggestions for a dc5r? I was thinking dark gun metal grey.

[Alvis]

I still love Championship white :) makes Honda's look so clean and I think white gets more attention IMO

[V8KLLR]

Yea I agree but its not unusual or rare to see a white dc5r. I want to do something out there but at the same time no "sex spec' bs.

at the end of the day i guess you need to choose a colour you're not going to get sick of looking at say a year down the track and easy to maintain; just don't pick a pain in the a** to look after lol
