Default New color scheme ideas, please give input!

Hey guys,
I have a 1997 Prelude, and it was involved in an accident, the body is repaired, but I am thinking of putting a different color paint on, give me some good ideas, I need them quick cause I'm painting it within the next few days(BTW I'm a professional painter...)

Here's what it looked like before being repaired, it was/is Eucalyptis Green

Personal qs... I know your family is in the car repair business... do you actually keep one of those cars for yourself or just get, fix and sell.

Color - go with black.

Well we buy and sell alot. However we've had a few we wanted to keep, but had to get rid of. The prelude is a keeper, along with a 1994 Accord we just bought, both are mine.

I always liked black. I also like silver too. But these are really common and safe colors. One color that I was also impressed by is this dark blue/purplish metallic color on some newer Saabs. :naughty: Dunno if it would look good on a lude though.

If you put sort of a blue tint on the color u have now, i think that'd look pretty cool and unique.
