If you could paint your TSX any color, what would you choose?

Bored at work and I've been thinking about it quite intently ... I'd most likely go with Cadillac's double espresso (dark/deep brown w/ metal flakes). Interested in your choices, as well!

I think I'm ready to go with a lighter color. A silver with a hint of something unique and interesting. Thinking something like pearlescent blue base coat with silver over it. Something that will look blue-ish but with the easy care of a silver.

I'd be interested in a more blueish version of the meteor blue.

^ that would be sweeeeet

PACman

Alpine white...like those on the G and Z. PWP seems to have a tinge of yellow in it, which I'm not keen on.

Championship white please.

I'm torn.. it would either be a british racing green with a pearl in it(think of the aston martin vanquish).. or a very dark red, almost blood color(a little darker then the yamaha R1 red)..

so far it looks as if white is the new black, for real

godfather2

haha, i'm the only one who's picked brown so far

jwood_06TSX

I would be ALL over that color!!!! I have always liked blue cars and something that would be awesome!

How about a nice midnight purple that's almost black??
Think of the color of eggplant..
It would appear purple only in bright daylight, and on overcast days or at night it would appear black..

Now should it be pearlescent or metallic.. I'm leaning pearl.. Call it Midnight Violet Pearl ... (MVP TSX anyone?)

^ that's hot! when i chose the color "brown" is thinking along those same lines

My car is Milano Red. I wanted black but I wanted the parchment interior and 6mt more, so I took what I could get. I wasn't such a huge fan at first but it's really grown on me. It really fits the sporty nature of the car. That said, if I were to repaint it, my only choice would be a more red red. Like a Ferrari red.

Having a more durable paint in and of itself would almost be enough justification for a repaint. Damn soft paint.

Which ever white the STi's come in. I'm not sure but is that alpine?
idk, I've always had a thing for that color.

Here's a pic I took from the RonJon meet over the summer.

I would want to two tone my PWP with some NBP and ghost patterns all over. My 2nd choice would be typeR yellow

As silly as it may sound, my inspiration for a paint job came from a video game. My ultimate paint job would be...well, try to picture...



Picture looking at your TSX straight on....if you put a board throught the middle of the car with an approx. 30 pivet around where acura label is...have the 'bottom' half be white, and the 'top' half be black. Acutally it would be like you have black or white down the whole car if you look at it from just one side, but...maybe you get the idea. Anybody like it?

EuRTSX

^ No.

TS_eXpeed

Alright....
I know my artistic abilities are wicked awesome, you don't need to tell me. Maybe this illustration will somewhat help. If this 'car' is your tsx..........its as if you are looking at it front on. Think of that blue line as an imaginary board or plane running through the tsx. Now down the car, everything 'above' the blue line would be black, and 'below' the blue line would be white. The blue line of course is only for reference and wouldn't be a part of the paint job.





Make a little more sense???


Sorry if I doesn't. The idea looks really cool in my head. :/

NEGATIVEEEEE

TS_eXpeed

Whatever. Different people, different likes.
I would do it.

What I don't understand though is all the votes for white. It's hell to maintain. Black is so classy. Red and Blue are sporty. Silver and Grey are also somewhat sophisticated, as is white. Even with as many times I wash my car (usually around 3 times every two weeks depending on weather)...it would drive me insane

Knox

Looks like I'm a rarity casting my vote for brown. For some reason, I think the Infiniti FX brown would look really nice on the TSX. I've been proven wrong before though.

godfather2

^ that makes two of us

Reach

Blazing Semen White. That would be my vote.

godfather2

^ not sure if you're joking or not?

dolparism

i enjoy detailing my car, and it truly pays off when u get stunned by just looking the finish.... and you know it's BLACK.....of course it dusts super easily, but it's ok....it still looks awsome @ 10 feet away

godfather2

^ i stopped feeling like that about a year after purchase

dj Dozhe

Since this is the Performance section I'm sure he's not joking. Blazing Semen White, and its closest competitor Lightning Jizz Mother of Pearl, are the only two colors that actually make your car faster. Only with these two colors does this thread belong in the Performance section.

It should also be noted that Lightning Jizz Mother of Pearl does fade to a yellowish color over time, so it's suggested that a new coat be applied every two months. The good news? It's free, and easy to come by.
