Default Thoughts on new paint color.....

I have been inspired to paint my S. I am not sure on the color I want...so many choices. I do painting as a side hussle so I will be doing this myself.

Inspiration


My bike I painted with over 300 skulls and lime green candy.


I am looking for an orange or red color. (I think)

HOK Root Beer or Tangerine sprayed over silver (candy)

Kustom Shop Fire Orange, Orange glow, Kopper candy, or Black cherry

I am open to all colors. I have always wanted Orange glow and have talked myself out of it a couple times on past vehicles I have owned.

I might be in the wrong forum but it is modifing to non stock color right?

Thanks

root beer over silver

tangerine over silver

tangerine over gray

orange glow

fire orange

kopper kandy

black cherry

Lime Candy (have some left)


I am leaning toward orange glow, root beer, ..... well I like them all. I am planning on leaving hood, HTop, and trunk berlina black like the pic above. Well hood in pic above is cf.

Root beer is winning so far.

I like simple colors like black, red or white. Those colors you mention makes the car look like a big hot wheel. Like a plastic toy, but thats just my opinion.

Exactly.. Hot Wheels. Funny you should say that.
Kinda how I view mine now with candy red rims on berlina black. Reminds me of the little hot wheels toys. Aren't we just big kids playing with bigger toys?

"Flame suit on" I had a thought of deleting s2000 emblem and replacing with a 7" hot wheels sticker......

Imola Orange, hands down. Legit Honda color (NSX) and I believe it was a stock color for S2000s for other regions? Hella nice to look at...
