FINALLY!....here they are, the PICS of the new color!!

Ok guys, sorry about it taking so long. I just had to get some time to get it all together. Had to get it ready, clean, some nice weather, you guys know the deal.

Well...i guess i can tell you guys the color now, its 2004 Acura NSX blue. Called "Long Beach Blue Pearl" from the factory. Much thanks to Dennis over at Exotic Concepts in Longwood, FL for doing all the work.

Ok, go check out my album and tell me what you guys think of it!!

DAAAAYUM! That bitch is nice. Ironically, that is the color I was planning on painting my CL-S6 but decided to keep it "sleeper" black. Whomever did the paint job is talented, seems flawless. I have to say one thing to you man--- there is lots of people that drink

so please take care of it and watch where you park it. If something happens let me know so I can
them I hate H8RS with a passion.

Just courious...why would resale be hard? Thats close to the civic SI blue isnt it? There are cars that color....why would selling a CL with that blue color be a hard resale???

bright blues like that are hard to resell, the SI and CL aren't in the same league of cars. Also from what I understand the blue CL-S and TL-S similiar to that didn't sell to well. I just thought the grey would be easier on resale

Hey guys thanks for all the comments. The whole paint job and body work was right around 10k. I had to pay about 6500 out of pocket, insurance covered the rest. Under the hood is also painted blue, but the engine bay is painted black. The guys at the shop did a great job. Theres 3 coats of base, and 5 coats of clear. No orangepeel or anything. Its fuckin perfect, i love it. And i know i gotta watch out for the haters, thats how this shit happened in the first place, people keying my car. Oh well, theres always people out there like that though. Thanks for all the comments guys!
