Default Painting my integra gs-r yellow help

Well im going to paint my gsr yellow. I want something that really shines and stands out something almost like a neon yellow. Any suggestions? Also if you have pics that would be great.
thanks for the help.

My suggestion is that you do not paint your GSR yellow. To me, it would seem that you're just trying to pose as an ITR. I would reconsider your decision if I were u.

But, if you insist on painting it yellow, then by all means go ahead with it! :thumbup: It's your car. You do what you like.

Oh, give me a break. Painting a Teg yellow is considered "trying to pose as an ITR" now? That's ridiculous. Yellow is a nice color on a Teg, Type-R or not. It's not like he said he was going to put Type-R stickers on it. The color yellow is not rice.

vtecmuscle: Go to the paint shop and ask to see samples of the colors they have. But whatever you do, don't go to Maaco!

I'm just trying to tell him to be original. There a hundreds of thousands of different shades of colors out there to choose from.
Why pick a color that Honda/Acura chose to make soley available for their limited production car? There are a bunch of colors that are much better than yellow. Try something new. Perhaps a shade of gold instead.





How about orange?

Its a track car but it's still yellow.

Hey Eprepcivic, did you have to sand down the whole engine bay, to have it painted? Thats really a smart thing to do, by painting everything, looks really clean.
