the color doesnt do it for me... ive never really been a fan of flat colors on Hondas unless they have clear coat on them and its like glass. then i dont mind them so much. nice to see that youve returned to the site though.

Thank you for the support guys.

and believe me, I know the color isn't for everyone, that is why I did it... to be different.

lol ;)

As for the new paint, I plan to either go Dark Burgundy Red or Matte Khaki again but professionally sprayed WITH clear coat.

Welcome back man. I like the car, its something you dont see everyday. I think dark burgundy would look fantastic. :up:

I like the khaki as a temporary color. I'll have to look at the pics again at home, I hope the color doesn't have too much oyster gray to it. Burgandy will look great!

Blood red was an option for me when I got my car sprayed. I stuck with black, though.

Nice to see that you have returned. I like the flat khaki...looks cool.
