Unfortunate accident
Hey guys well my s2 was involved in an accident (sorry no pics) Some old guy in a Ford POS 500 hit my driver side front corner completley ripping my front bumper in half, damaging my front fender and other minor support brackets. The insurance is taking care of it so im goin with the AP2 front bumper and headlight conversion. I figured why not im not payin for it. Which brings me to the color... I love my complete red interior but was never fond of the sebring silver. I fell in love with black when i had my BB6 prelude. But which black?? 
Not berlina no offense but i wanted something different. I was thinking Night Hawk Black Pearl from the RSX and my buddy HiPER who is also on S2ki mentioned DC2 type R black whatever color that maybe...any suggestions would be appreciated...thanks

why are you paying for it if its his fault?
before you change colors on part of the car, do some photoshop- maybe post up in the photo section of this board... and ask if someone can photoshop what you are thinking of doing before you do it to make sure you like a two toned car.

edit from wanabe:

Look for AT LEAST 5K-7K on a GOOD pearl job, or 10-15K on a proper FULL paint job (ripping out the motor, etc etc etc.
If someone tells you they can paint your car in a pearl color for 2K, run for the hills.
Finally, the last tip....
Of all the colors in the world, black is the hardest to shoot, and requires MASSIVE skill.
