Lightbulb Paint Advice

Im looking to paint a body kit on my 05 TSX but I recently done a full custom paint 3 stage black/red/gold/green pearl on my car. Its hard to actually get any good pics with the color since the car looks black at all times cept under the sun or when the sun goes down the car turns redish/gold. I bought a full RAVEN kit for my car and im looking to paint this another color...any ideas ???

Why would you ever want the body kit to be another colour? Personally I'd paint it the exact same colour as the rest of the car or else it'll look absolutely ridiculous -- (mismatched).

Im going all custom with the kit to match the car I was just looking for input to see if any neat ideas were out there. Ive seen a silver tsx with black lip it didn't look to bad but the solid look is way better in my opinion...thanks alot!

Pfft, forget curls! Paint the kit white with a lime green racing stripe. You'll be ballin in yo pimp ride then homey!

Seriously, it's gotta match the car 100% or it'll look totally stupid. It is possible to pull off a kit with different color accents, or possibly a totally different color, but not with a custom paint job like you have. It's gotta look like it flows, and nothing will flow into or out of what your already have, so stick with it.

Sorry but I don't like the raven body kit and I'm sure most members on here don't like it either. But it's a matter of preference so do what you gotta do.

The thing about the Raven Kit.. It needs more going on. There's already alot going on anyway but it needs more to have it look atleast decent. You need a rear spolier, non chrome rims, blacked out window/hood trim, front splitter and a drop. Keep up the work though.. you just need more.
