Okay..soo my paintjob is getting old. each day finding new scratches/dings/chips on various parts of my car, not to note the numerous swirl marks. haha

So I might be getting a new paintjob in the summer (early july)...

Car right now is Nighthawk Black Pearl. Car has 04-05 CTR Front End w/ 04-05 Mugen Lip. And soon to come fully polished CCW's.

Options: I think I want something on the darker side....hrm
Re-paint car Nighthawk Black Pearl
Blackberry Pearl(Dark Purple) from Honda Fit
Cosmic Grey Pearl

Opinions?

great minds think alike. I might be repainting my car from NHBP in the summer too and those are my exact choices for colour changes. I say cosmic grey.

Have you guys ever seen a cosmic grey in person? I saw one last year and it looked like a mini van... the color made the EP look huge, IMO. Pics of the color look amazing, but in person I wasn't impressed.

Maybe its just me but I think a very light gray would look really clean and unique. and I think it would contrast great against black and carbon fibre parts on your car. aggressive but mellow look..

personally on the CCW's, i think VW Black Magic Pearl would look amazing

its hard to do it justice in pictures, but the metal flake is amazing, so gorgeous

or even something like that, if you want to be baller, look into BMW pastel colors :)

my jdm rear bumper/lip came from the uk in cosmic gray. i thought the color looked great. i almost didnt want to paint it. but a bumper/lip compared to a complete car is diff story. i'd still vote for CGP lol

I second that. I wanted to paint mine that but fell in love with fiji blue pearl off the mugen si and ended up going that route. I would love to see an ep galaxy gray though.
