Werd.

i <3 noobs.

OP i would save and get more paint. two tone is doesn't suit all cars.

or get a VK.

As the others have said I think only black would go with that shade of green, but the question is do you want to fall into a stereo type or not I guess? Either that or maybe get some more paint of the same colour? Is your problem that you think you might not get the same mix of green or that its too expensive and would rather a cheaper colour to two tone it with?

i am a moron cause i said it straight?

gronk. acting like ur a mad**** on a high horse.

neway, how is black going to go with a green pearl, it doesn't suit at all. how did i piss neone off. cause i said doing two tone on a aftermarket respray will look shit? cause it will?

yeah do the black bonnet n stuff on a oem color (even this is gay, cf is the only way), but please, if ur going to respray your car into a aftermarket green pearl, please do it properly and do it all the way.

even the long time members here agree not doing it two tone.

telling me, if i dont like, dont look. i just said i dont look? i said when i c one of those cars with the two tone and looks cheap, i look away. if u like that rat look do it but im giving my opinion and my 2c. see, people agree with what i said, maybe not too that certain degree of how much i hate it, but yeh.

lets say u pull up to a meet with that two tone shit, yeah some people will like it, but most ppl will think ur a cheap **** n should have just finished the job. especially cause u have an aftermarket color. if u had an OEM color with the two tone, yea it won't be anything, but yeh. if u got a carbon bonnet it might be ok, but as u saying u can't afford new green paint i doubt ull afford the cf bonnet. so i just assume u going to do it some shitty base color. its like the debate, replica vs genuine. all the lil kids dun care n love the replicas, but all the real honda enthusiasts love there genuine and rocking replica never gets points.

one of the mod rules i go by is, not to take short cuts, do everything the right way and proper way, do the first time the right way. and if ur going to go for a style, like sexspec, do it all sexspec, dont do it half half. it doesnt look good 2 anyone. if its jdm, all jdm.. u no what i mean?

get some money, and finish the job. nothing will look nice two toned with a green pearl, unless u wanna drive down the street and have everyone think ur a cheap **** and ur car looks like a peice of shit.

bear in mind SOME people may think its cool, from those select enthusiasts.. but u driving down the street like that, girls dont looks twice, they can't even tell its "two-toned" they just think its a piece of crap box u couldn't afford 2 spray.

i know you mod your car to your own liking, but u'd have to have some big pride to drive down the street attracting the wrong attention.

2 tone?? XD


that was half way through the job, and yes, i did rock up to a meet like that...haha

its finished now though

Haha, thats a good one Redefine.
The colour is the standard green like the pic above but the guy who mixed it put an extremely light pearl through it.
Im not too keen on the two-tone, just wanted to see a few pics of it done. I was thinking of doing something a bit different and two-toning it from say just where the plastic strips are on the pre-face EKs.. that, or something else. Not sure.
Im not that low on money so getting another lot of paint to redo the whole car is an option and one i'm seriously considering.
YBJLS4, thanks for your input champ but tone it down a notch man (no pun intended), pissing off long term members ins't the way to get a name for yourself and/or gain respect.
Cheers people, keep the suggestions coming..still got 2 weeks before I can get it sprayed again.
