hey guys... i've owned my s2k for almost a year now and she's been my daily driver... n thru the hard months hangin out in the mean parking lots of queens, NY she's acquired a few battle scars... u know the deal... little front bumper scrape there, flying tire tossed up by a truck here, haters even tryin to key it (thank god wax got it off), and maybe even the occassional little pebbles scratchin the rear bumper near the wheels...

well i hav a surprise for her on her upcoming birthday this summer (dont tell her its a surprise)... i'm planning on adding the airwalker front spoiler and skirts and was going to get rid of all her imperfections while i was at it... i was wondering if u guys know if the silverstone is hard to match... and around how much it would cost to get the ground effects painted? oh and maybe even the bumpers repainted... well any help would be appreciated... thanks for readin -=)

 

I would think the Spa Yellow, the pearl in the yellow is hard to match/

 

I've read here that because of the "Pearl", Spa Yellow Pearl is the most difficult to match.

 

The silverstone is very hard to match, as well. Like the spa yellow, it has a lot of "flake" in the paint. Just make sure you take it to a good body shop and you should be fine.

 

Just something I read posted on this board...

I recall reading that one difference in the Honda paint is that there are metallic flakes in the clear coat, too, not just the base paint layer. Once some body shop had figured it out, they had a much easier time matching the paint.

the hardest colors to match are black and red.

 

lol, i was told white is the hardest...cuz one little spec of black changes the entire shade of white

 

thanks for the help guys! anyone wanna recommend a good body shop in the metro nyc area? i dont trust a lot of the body shops around my place...

 

Go to federal auto on Northern Blvd in Flushing, I sent Sunchild there and he is quite happy with their work.
