I love everything about my new Si except the paint. I'm kind of OCD about paint, of which the Civic is severly lacking. Since I chose an Si, I spent way under my car budget and have some room to spend on it without feeling guilty. I'm thinking of a repaint instead of wheels and bolt-ons since I'm pretty happy with it stock. I saw an 07 Mustang GT BASF show car at a show last winter that had a red satin paint job and it looked sweet.
Similar to this texture:
I'm thinking of maybe a satin job in a shade of blue or maybe even satin white. Except for the $199 Maaco job on my old track car I have never had a car painted. The Civic seems like a fairly easy car to mask and since its new, there would be minimal prep. I'd do the door jams and all the sills but leave the engine bay alone. What do you think?
