question about painting car
I just got my body kit for my white 98 sedan. Since I am going to paint the kit, I thought that I might as well paint my entire car. I also just bought a fender that needs to be painted. I'm thinking about painting my car black. My question is that do you guys think my car would look kind of weird if it was painted black because my interior is a light tan color and not a dark color like the original black accords which have interiors that are black...charcoal...grey?

You shouldn't paint your car black, you can see all the dirt and scratches. You should paint it the new accord graphite pearl. That is a bad @ss color with black tinted windows. Your car would be freakin sick that color.
Jealous of new accord owners with graphite pearl :fawk:

Black looks awesome when clean, but sucks when it comes to keeping it clean and showing dings and scratches.
What I would be more worried about (rather than interior color) is the color of your doorjams, trunk, underhood. If you do a complete color change, you're going spend a lot of $. If you only have the exterior painted, you're going to end up with a funky two tone job when you open any door.
Personally, I'd just have the parts fixed that need repainting, like fender, other damaged areas, and leave it white. 98 isn't that old, I would think your paint would still be in decent condition.

Yeah I guess that my car would look pretty retarded with the door jam thing and the cow seat covers would have matched it perfectly
. I just thought about painting my entire car because the kit would cost $450 to paint and the fender would cost $150 which is $600 hunded total. I found this other place that would paint my entire car for $600:dunno:
