To something like this. To an extent at least.




I might go for a darker tone. Definitely not lighter than that though.

I like it. It looks like the JDM lime green to me.

I would ride that color.

You will have to go with a full factory paint job to pull it off.

A 2 stage paint like that and doing a full factory style paint job will run you at least $4-6K so keep that in mind when deciding to do something like that

You know to be honest, I'm not sure if leaded paint is still being used here.
$4k does seem the right ballpark for this kind of job. Someone at a Honda dealership told me the same thing. But I'd have a pretty unique-looking S2K.
