O-k I have had a AcuraZine before but forgot "lost" my passwords etc. So I made another. I was recently hit by a Chevy Tahoe and my Acura was totalled with $3,600 in damages. However , I have recently replaced all the body parts except the headlights so Im pretty much ready to get it painted but I really dont know which color to go with. My Ideas are the Cadillac "white" , Midnight Black , or repainting it the color it is now. What do you guys suggest. Here are some before and now pics , and a few pics of my moms 3.0.


She was pretty back then lol


I love a Cl!!! However even then I was debating on a different color


Im gonna get the bumper "fiberglassed" back together , its cheaper then buying another.


Anyone have headlights lol?


I cant look!!!!!!


This ones my moms , hers makes mine look like shit , but I dont like her rims at all!!!!


lol.





Any suggestions gladly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!!!

nice job fixin up the damage. Are you talking about cadillac pearl white? Thats a tight color, but I dont know what I would think of it on a cl. Black is sexy, but I would personally go with a custom color like a dark gray or something if youre getting it repainted anyway. good luck man

BadassAcuraCl

Alright thankyou man , your input will defenintally be involed in my decision making process , I have to get headlights first though. But Ill see and yes , the Cadillac Pearl white was the color I was referring to. I think Im gonna go with Cadillac Pearl or black , and some purple or green underglo lights. Im gonna try making the car look better than it looked before.

Haha agreed.

Your mom is cool man.

Storm Silver Metallic or Rallye Red! Those are Honda paints, looks pretty nice on the Fit and the new Si, respectively.

zhouz

the pearl white that the new lexuses come with

SmokinH22CL

Midnight Blue!!

XxAtTheGatesxX

Hey Guys , Im still expecting more suggestions , but the guy I bought my Acura from has a 2000 Honda Accord Ex Coupe , with a body kit , dual exhaust etc , loaded , that he just offered to trade me for the way my car is. You guys think I should? I mean I see Hondas everywhere , you rarely see our Acuras , Im pretty iffy at this point , I may , may not.

PS: Thanks for the suggestions you guys have given me so far .

Sleep_DEPRIVED_Sleeper

pics of said Ex? Auto? 5SPD (take it if it's 5spd)? when you said loaded do you mean cosmetically or engine-wise? Have a mech check out the car, IF it looks good then take it.

Sounds like a good deal, if he's willing to part with his newer car done up. Or fix your car, I'd take his as is. Well I wouldn't but I'm not in your situation, but that's a sweet deal

BadassAcuraCl

Engine wise its a 3.0 V6 automatic its got a K&N Cold Air Intake , a electric supercharger , and I dont remember what brand the exhaust was. However when I said loaded , I ment loaded with leather , heated seats etc.

But being I see Honda Ex's "everywhere". I think I may stick with my car and get it fixed , I recently found out the honda has 226,000 miles. My Acura has 176,000 , but its a 2.2 V-tech.

And yes I live here in Winston-Salem N.C , Im gonna create my own Car Club soon "East Coast Acura's". Im fixin to get Window stickers made to.

BadassAcuraCl

O its a auto!!

I'll go with a on that 1, you could possibly inherit a glass tranny and that most def wont be good. As for colors, I'd either go stock or a color that the CL didnt come with. Smokinh22 has a 2 tone look that looks absolutely sick, maybe you should consider that with like a gunmetal on top and a midnight blue on the bottom

5-speed

yeah man, keep the cl.

BadassAcuraCl

Ok , heres my latest Idea on painting. Im sure everyones seen "SmokinH22CL's" paint job. Im thinking of Cadillac Pearl , where his is blue , and black where his is black , what do you guys think?

And I've got a question for you "SmokinH22CL" , who did your paint job , and how much do you have invested in the paint job itself? Thanks in advance

AznX TL

be original, dont copy his paint style.

BadassAcuraCl

I hear you on what your sayin , lol , it was his suggestion only different colors. I think black with that Pearl white would be hot. Im not set on anything as of yet though.

Undergloooo i say but thats my opinon.........cadillac pearl nice!

BadassAcuraCl

Im still kinda questioning myself. I am more fond of dark colors , they have a sexier look to them , Im just wondering what the majority of you guys would do.

CLpwner

Man, I would go with the infiniti black... its on the new m35's and it looks pimp as hell and shiny when its clean... or like 5-speed said a dark gray

I'm in Raleigh BTW

BadassAcuraCl

The black on the new Infiniti is Black Obsidian , its pretty hot I agree. I've gotta save money for awhile anyway , so I have some time to fool around and think. But until then I just wanna know what my Acura family thinks lol.

BadassAcuraCl

The guy that Im having paint my car said he would paint it the original color for 860.00 and a different color "we talked about the m35 black" for 1000.00. His paint jobs are badass , my uncle has a 1983 Caddy and a 63 Impala SS , this guy painted both , and they look like brand new cars!!! He puts 5 Clearcoats on
