Which black would it be? Or would you stick with nhbp? For example, if you wanted to paint your roof black, or your car is a different color, do you have a preference on which black you'd choose?

nhbp is one of the best blacks out to be honest

I would repaint it in NHBP but add some extra hardener into the paint so that its not as soft as the stuff honda sprayed on the cars as they came off the assembly line. I hate that NHBP always gets the spiderweb cracks running through the paint. Its probably what im gonna get done with my car when i get my CTR stuff put on.

I'd paint it silver or yellow. My black car is clean 2 secs out of the whole year.

Cosmic Grey Pearl

The factory paint is kinda sucky, and black no matter how the car is cared for will be dirty again within 10 seconds, and shows swirls and scratches like they are neon highlighted!

Flat black. I don't really know if I would do a true flat or go with a semi-flat look, but one of those.

You mentioned painting the roof, are you planning on a roof paint or something? I'de just repaint it the honda black. Don't need no super deep custom black.

I ask because I'm thinking about doing an entire paint job.. maybe milano red or something. I wasn't sure all the little blue pearls in nhbp would match with red. So I was wondering what other black colors other people liked to get some options.

Agree with tsuru, eventhough I originally wanted a NHBP EP.

I have to figure out the same thing. I love black, but I don't know if I can spend that kinda money just to see swirls in the near future. The MR would look good though!

hmmm, that's a good choice!

Cosmic gray was one of my original favorite colors too. But I feel that I'd just be going from one neutral color to another neutral color. If I'm going to change the color, I want it to be completely different. I think it's time to come out of the sleek and subtle look and bring out the red hot, aggressive, eye-catcher look.

I heavily detailed my car today for the first time in a long time and it's sitting in my garage under a spotlight. Looks so nice and shiny. Made me remember why I wanted NHBP in the first place. When it's cleaned properly, it beats any color under a spotlight. You know what I'm talking about.

Stared at it for a good 10 minutes thinking this may be the last time I appreciate how nice my car has turned out, hoping I'm not about to make a big mistake with what I have planned..
