Painting the S....maybe
I really want to paint my S a different color
I mean i really like the New Formula Red but i feel like i am limiting my options on colors for the car like wheel color among other things so i want to go with something neutral or maybe even Electron Blue Pearl from the 99-2000 Si.
I have the money and the time to take it somewhere to get painted but i dont want the car painted a nice pretty new shiny blue and then have an old red engine bay...and i dont want to remove the engine to paint the car. i have time but not that much lol!
What should i do???!!!

Man who knows how much more expensive it will be to take the engine out then paint it and its my DD i cant go too long without it...
Maybe ill just get a different red...i kinda like darker reds, then i wouldnt really have to paint the bay

Why would you want to paint your S2k the color of Civic??
Don't get me wrong, its a cool color for what it is but Audi, Porsche, and even Lexus have some pretty badass colors. If you are going to do this I'd suggest venturing out of the Honda colors and do something you don't see as often. Especially on an S... Just my 02.

Painting a car might devalue it so keep that in mind as well.

If I'm paying $3-4k + for a paint job I'm stepping outside the box here.. Another color close to that blue but with more flare to it is Daytona Blue Pearl from the 350z. I painted my old car rollbar/rims this color and the pearl pops way more than Electron Blue Pearl.
