Here's another car thread that may help give you more ideas about your paint dilemma. This guy was also looking for a bright white, but wanted a 3-stage paint (a 100% white 2-stage job will definitely be bright, but at the same time it may look a little dull or shallow). He ended up mixing various parts of OEM colors (Lamborghini's Balloon White for the basecoat with Lexus' Glacier Frost Mica for the midcoat...giving the color a very unique and bright white with tons of depth).

http://my.is/forums/f90/custom-paint...-i-n-g-375442/

Not sure if you need to be a member or not to see the pics, if you have any trouble just let me know and I'll send the pics to you.

best acura gonna be going to to the peeps with an integra full engine bay tucks, or Tony NSX (the guy with the sorcery kitted turbo nsx on honda tuning) or that wide body TSX thats been in the show scene awhile now etc...

Best honda.... maybe big mike? (green older gen prelude, engine bay tuck, Bisi Moto tuned f20 engine)

just my its hard to win at wekfest when almost 1k cars register but the capacity is 400 cars. the approval process for wekfest is one of the hardest. If decafe car is built by then thats def show stopper
