Cool Color help...

Thinking a nice matalic charcoal or black. The car will be slightly lowered w/ tint and FD wheels. Will also get a Type II front/sides and Kaminari rear skirt.

Just can't decide on the color now. It's gonna be a cheap fast kinda paint job and black is a little more visible with problems so I'm thinking the deep grey might be the choice i need.

What do you guys think?

black is a bitch to perfect......because all the little dings and **** will show through.... and plus it hides the curves of the tye II bumper and skirts.....(I just got mine a few days ago )
charcoal is already a factory color for the rx, but it looks nice....
look for something from another car (color) all you gotta d is find yourself some paint charts......

mine is going from red to 2002 nissan gold rush bronze pearl metallic (whoo take a breath in that one) but its going to be all monotone because i have bronze wheels and stuff.....

i dunno bro, its all up to you, if you want to be unique or basic....

Both black and charcoal are basic... And that is what I want. A clean, basic looking car. I painted my current car red w/ yellow stripes 3 years ago and am SOO tired of it now.

The paint I'll be going with is a single stange. It will be preped, sealed, painted, and then a clear coat is put on top of that for polishing. So I don't have the option of choosing ANY color I want. Or else I'd go with the Audi TT Charcoal.

Ever thought of black w/ blue metallic?
It might not be what your looking for but I think it
would be deadly. Just my 2 cents.

What colors the interior? That would be your deciding factor.

Black interior - go with yellow, red, white, or grey
Red interior - dark blue, medium blue, blueish silver, black
Blue interior - dark blue, medium blue, white, black
