Looking For Paint Ideas

[cynosurecivic]

im not sure if this post belongs here or in exterior. please feel free to move at will.

im thinking of getting a new body kit, wheels, and carbon fiber hood. i want to change the color of my car. after reading 4bangin's post in 'best coupe' thread, i'd like to explore house of kolors paint options. but i cant get an idea of what i want from paint chips. my car is red, and although i will be painting door jams and everything, my engine bay will still be stock red. so i'd like to stay with a redish color, or something that wont look so bad with a lil red in the bay. if anyone can please post pics of colors if possible, im depserate for info. please help.

[estebones]

still that color ownz!

[cynosurecivic]

that is a tight color. if only i had enough money to do inside the engine bay and everything.

A complete paint job would be way better than just having the outside of your car painted, besides its your car bro and since youre on the site I would think you care about your car so why not get it done rigth rather than having it become a headache later IMO.

well if i get it painted, i was gonna have the door jams and inside trunk painted. but its rediculously expensice to rip everything outta the bay. so i was gonna have them do the radeator support and a little in the bay, the part of the fender that bolts in. if i could rip the motor out i would, but it seems to be a waste.

Actually, picture this color with a red engine bay- I think it would look slick when the hood is open.

It would def. bring the attention to the engine bay...

The del sol which I painted white last year still has a red engine bay and it doesn't clash horribly compared to if the exterior was a different color.
