ya think? Hmm..I do agree it would be ..... interesting, but..... meh.

I think the Pearl Black or whatever it was called, Flaminco? Anyways, the stock black, which is what I have, would like real nice if it was freshly painted. That's what I'm going to do when I find someone to paint it for me.

A professionally shot satin black could look hot on a form like a DC Integra.

If anyone remembers the Valvoline "Si Challenge" from earlier this year, The Skunk2 Civic Si is a good example to consider IMHO.

Oh, and having dealt with Earl Scheib before (they did work on my old GTi) ...don't.
Run from them as fast as you can. h:

I'd roll a bondo bucket for a few months before I let them touch a car again.

Stay away from those one day paint places, cause that is how long they last. If you do all the work and tell them to paint it, most places will not warranty it. So save...or take a chance, I did and went in with alloy wheels and they came out w/a blue hue. Man I was pissed, and made them fix it.

Wait...what?

You took it to a paint shop and your wheels came out with a blue hue?

Yeah. 1 Day did something, not sure what what, but my Konig Monsoons came out with an overspray of blue, like they didn't cover them good enough. When I point it out the guy was like...it was like that when it came here. I said bullshit, it is from the paint you used to paint my car, and now clean them up. He really couldn't argue since my car was primer when it came in, and I guess he forgot that.
