Hey guys,

Just wanted to pick your brains a little with a question. As the title states, If you were given the opportunity to paint your car all around for a great price, and you lived in a perfect world where you just so happened to have the funds to do as you please, what color would you guys paint yours?

It can be any crazy custom color or any basic color you wish. I would go with a nicer shade of gray/silver than whats on my 2IS currently (Tungsten Pearl). Something like what a member on here has. I think its called Phantom Athletic Silver Mica or some crazy name like that lol.

Anyway, what would you guys do???

Mine isn't crazy at all, but I would absolutely love the Ultrasonic Blue Mica from the IS-F. Absolutely love that color and I fell in love with it the very first time I saw it. I mean, just look at it!!!

Yeah blue, especially USB, is always a great color. Definitely one of the best stock colors available on a car from factory.

Audi Nardo Gray with High Gloss Black Accents

Millenium Jade or Titanium from the GTR line are awesome but for the IS I'd choose the Aurora Blue Mica from the RX8 or Ultrasonic Blue from the RCF

For all your Honda Civic lovers out there, how about some Midori Green on a 2IS?

Wow that Aurora Blue Mica is very similar to the Ultra Sonic Blue from the ISF. Only except I think that USB looks a little bit brighter in direct Sunlight. Not completely sure though since Im comparing them through images off Google lol

Thats a very nice color Honda did for those cars. Its not often that I see that color around here in my city. I do wonder how that would come out if one of us ever painted an IS that in that same color.

I loved my Graphite Grey Peal on my '01 IS so when I went to the second gen, I naturally went to Smokey Granite Mica on my '06. I didn't have it for long ( I sold it for my current '08 in Obsidian ) but if I could, I'd probably go SGM again.

I saw a 1is with the yellow paint yesterday, looked extra clean and smooth, like whoa! That is the color i would want. But for a road car i would love that 2is gold. until just today when i saw ISland350 and that is the color i would get as well. No lie. Grigio Medio.


Quick Reply: If you could, What color would you paint your 2IS?
