What color should i paint it?

I have a 91 the current paint job is white. The previous owner didnt take too much care of teh paint and it is chipping off to the primer in several places. The interior is blue. My question is what color should i paint it, or should i go with white again. I like electron blue. Its the blue on the civic si. And the guy that is goin to do it says he can do ne design i want airbrushed. What ya think will look good?

My car is black on black. I love the look, but hate keeping it clean.

I think black would look good with the blue interior or silver.

White is sweet on an FC...I'd paint mine white but I dont want to have to do the jambs and motorbay. It should be painted in 6 months and I'm gonna go with Porsche 911 Turbo Burgandy...it's a close enough match to the factory Burgandy I have (which is nice rare color and happens to look great on a modded Rex) but it has a lot of silver flake in it...can't wait

Ya i am preatty much between white and blue but black would be sweet. Dont want to have to do teh door jams and under teh hood tho. Think i should do ne decals or designs? I was thinkin maybe a blue tachometer w/ the needle goin past redline on the side of teh hood and teh fender If i painted it white or silver if i painted it blue.

I don't think the decal would look nice. But maybe if you had a pic or something I could imagine it better.
keep the paintjob clean and it'll look good

I dont have a pic i just thought it up in my head today. I saw a blue civic with a greddy decal on the side it had i huge tach w/ the greddy logo below it on the side. I thought it looked sweet. Thats kinda what gave me the idea.
