Colour combinations for my Turbocharged Honda City

artofzen · 22nd July 2008, 00:39

Jitu,
That Black Honda City which you have posted is my friends car in cochin.If you want I can ask him for details.

SRK · 22nd July 2008, 21:05

If you want it to have a sleeper look then I have some suggestions:

1st Add some new headlamps and tail lamps (they'll really enhance your car's look)

If possible get your intercooler painted to black (this will hide it,a +ve point for you and a -ve for the one who is racing with you..).
Get your mesh painted in black. Also if possible get your grill meshed too.

Get darker tints. Also adding a simple skirt kit (like the one on the red OHC) would make it look more sporty.

Jitu, I really dont know what Naples Gold is!! Is it a lighter Shade of gold??

Noooo cyrus i want the stock OEM Honda Logo which is silver color, the only thing i need is that small mugen logo on right hand side which you have posted in post#12
please take 1st pic of post#18 as reference, i want you to put that mugen signature thing on the same location on the striped show grill.
"Dippy's" car is naples gold color.

Cyrus43 · 23rd July 2008, 02:07

Something like this?? Also, The second and third pics in #18 are quite close to Dippys color.

I would suggest a scrap-down-repaint instead of an overcoat in the first place, Jeetu bhai. Longevity is the primary reason why.

Secondly, I love silver. Ahem. May I suggest Silver then? Silver looks great on the city....just try photoshopping your wheels on silver lines. Perhaps with blue/black ultra thin vinyl stripes running along the running boards and bumpers.....!

Cyrus43 · 23rd July 2008, 16:33

Some more color Combos for you.

Jitu??? Where art thou??

Holy cow! Cyrus thank you so much for taking out time for me, those are some amazing colors i never imagined it on a honda, my favourite pick is the Rich Gold & pearl Tangerine, just for viewing can u paint the entire show grill with same color for the above 2 narrowed down, i would retain the silver honda logo though.
changing body color will work out expensive proposition for me, cause to get that kind of finish it would cost me a bomb, does anybody has a brief idea how much it would cost for such a kind of paint job?

revvedup · 23rd July 2008, 23:25

look at Turboindia's Honda City in black in one of the the similar threads mentioned below your thread, looks quite good. Get either a black or white paint job done to get that sleeper look.

iraghava · 23rd July 2008, 23:28

Jitu, knowing how little time you get to maintain your car's exteriors & where she's parked, I would suggest you stay away from dark or flashy colours. They look fantastic BUT only when the car is clean!

Cyrus43 · 23rd July 2008, 23:33

True Ishaan, Even if the car is Golden in colr, It will look good if scratchless and buffed up.

danlalan · 23rd July 2008, 23:39

Go with something that reflects your personality jitu bhai.

The Rich Gold & pearl Tangerine are too loud IMO.
Just an overcoat would cost you 9000 at the normal paintbooth. (see JESAL's) accent.
Matte Black would cost you 2000/-
Jesal's n Adman77's painter prices.

Cyrus43 · 24th July 2008, 00:32

Here you go Jitu. The ones you asked for.
