I got a piece of shit Integra for 1.1K, it runs alright, but the outside could definitely use a new coat of paint. The old is sun damaged and basically makes the car look like a giant driving turd. I will not be driving a car that looks this bad, so give me some suggestions. No, I'm not ****ing stupid I'm not painting it myself I'm taking it to a shop. WHAT IS A GOOD COLOR LOL?
 
Colourless. Then you can see if you have dropped any money in the car.
 
Well it depends on what color you like. I would paint it black or red. But that's just me.
 
Depends what year Integra it is. What year Integra is it?
 
Flip paint, then you could have all the colours!

Dark Blue, Black, Maroon/Dark Red are all good simple colours.

87 4D hatchback :) a steal @ only 139K miles. I'm thinking very dark (gunmetal) gray.

Lol what a piece. But yea, I like navy / dark blue.

I have a '05 STi, and the blue suits it quite nicely :D.
 
Paint it pink. You know you want to.

feminine side coming through i see. my opinion, racing green, its the best damn colour ever made. Its basically a dark green for you uneducated fools, and green as we know is the best colour around. So my highly opinionated reasoning makes my choice superior...why? because i am omnipotent and omniscient!

Silver...but that's one of my favorite colors. :D
 
Silver. Or that really cool darker silver which is practically a mirror.

Bah... silver... I say take it the next step and chrome the entire car or actually cover the whole body in little 1cm² mirrors. You know, like Liberace's Rolls Royce.
 
White seems like a good color, I went into Forza Motorsport and tried some colors on that model.
 
Have then body made of perspex, you don't have to worry about colour then.

Black! Just kinda hard to keep clean.
Insurance is higher for them though, because they are in more accidents, i guess cos you cant see them at night. So if thats ever an issue, steer clear of black. (i personally wouldn't mind a black car though)

That's interesting.. never knew the color played into the insurance cost.. I know that on my car the larger spoiler brought my insurance up a bit because it makes it look more sporty / dangerous or some crap, which I was quite amazed at..
 
If it's a sports car, British Racing Green. But i always like black.

I never knew either. Possibly, that may only be in the U.K.

On a side note... Red cars get more speeding tickets. Red cars are banned in Brazil and Ecuador because of their involvement in accidents.
