Reply With Quotewhy not champ white?
So unfortunately I got into an accident yesterday with the ep3
I wound up losing control on a wet road yesterday and ended up in someone's flower bed. I'm gonna need new paint on practically every panel of the car since shale rocks tore up the paint pretty good. My question is what color should I do?!
I'm gonna do an entire exterior paint so options are pretty open, although I'm liking the Idea of keeping it white.
I have white wheels ready to go on the car however, so other colors definitely can be thrown in the mix.
My 2 Options I've narrowed down for white are...
Grand Prix White (from s2k's and NSX's)
or
Starfire Pearl (from the ISF)
What do you think?
I also thinking a deep red might be nice, or maybe even Euro Yellow
What to do?!?!?!

For the same reason I'm not considering taffeta. It's too much of a creamy white with a plain clearcoat. I wanted to look for colors that were as white as white can get or had a pearl or metallic finish.Originally Posted by x3thelast
Another color I was thinking of was Platinum White Pearl
Starfire Pearl ftw
If you want a nice white, alpine white from the sti and the wicked white/weightless white from the evo 8/9 are my favorite shades for sure. Check them out
They make a white chocolate pearl thats a great color of the 05 f-150 that is a beautiful color,me and a friend of mine painted a 69 camaro that color and it looked sick alot of pearls in it and it really cuts up in the sun.
Awesome suggestions guys!
I'm torn now between a pearl or plain finish
I like Grand Prix White(s2000) and Wicked White (evox) for plain finish.
but
The Starfire Pearl and White Chocolate Pearl look nice too.
any other colors you guys think the EP3 would look good in? I'm open to suggestions since my wheels will match anything.
personally, im aiming for Tasman Green:
I've also been thinking of doing a GM Laguna Green Metallic.
My fathers truck is this color from the factory and it has some awesome color changing properties. Sometimes it's blue, sometimes it's green.
- Blue
- Green
Sticking with OEM HONDA colors, I've narrowed my options down.
I'll post some pictures up tomorrow of the damages. It shouldn't be totaled, I'm praying it isn't.
Either Grand Prix White
or
North Shore Blue Pearl
cr-z color would be sexx
I saw one today and my heart melted.... I really think I'm gonna pull the trigger on that one. Price is the only issue now, if GPW will be significantly cheaper I'm going to pick it. Other than that, my heart is set on NSBP. Also, might be picking up a type r replica wing from local owner ep3_2_envy!Should be interesting ;)
I've been gandering on BMW colors and they're all either TOO BLAND or TOO FLASHY for the taste of an ep3. Definitely some really dope colors though, just not in the typical car category that Civics normally fall into.
damn sorry about the accident man. at least everything but the paint stayed intact. i'd say grand prix white just because of how clean it looks when it's taken care of. the blue from the crz would be a bit much for my taste but i think with white wheels it could look really good on an EP3. biggest thing no matter what color you choose is quality of the paint prep/work itself.
good luck!
Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words.
Unfortunately it's gonna need quite a bit of body work as well. But it shouldn't be too much to handle for a good body shop. My #1 priority is to find a good shop that can do quality work, even white will look like shit with bad prep/paint. So if I do bite the bullet on the NSBP I'm going to make sure it's a good shop that can properly paint a car.
I'm thinking of having a few other parts painted black as well to pull off a little different of a look. (Roof, spoiler, front grill, rear bumper in the middle)
Uploading damages now I guess :[
