Default Ok i am very unhappy with my cars paintjob (hugger orange)

I will post pics very soon.
im getting it repainted when my vertex kit comes.
i have 2 colors in mind so let me get your opinion.

Pure white
or
BMW Laguna Seca Blue



I have no idea how this color would look on the sc400 with a vertex body kit but please give your opinions.

It can't get much better than a white SC in my opinion.

is champion the same white found on the new Civics? If so that is a PURE white and it looks fantastic!

The Subaru Arctic White is also a fantastic white

Champion white are on the 97+ preludes, integra (type R only i think), Nsx. I'm not sure about what year civics, i know the EK which were available 96-99 i believe.

I like the white that the 02-03 s2000 came in. Also can you post a pic of your car in the color its in now. I love orange and am thinking about getting my RX-7 painted orange while I have it apart.
Also the LSB is the color thats on the BMW emblem I think

that blue is gonna look retarded on the SC. Remember this is a luxury car, and ur gonna ruin the whole car painting it that blue. Sorry if im being bold, but that's not the right color. Go w/ something pearl. like the evo graphite gray, or maybe even tiger eye mica.

you make a good point but does it still look luxury after you put a vertex body kit? if so give me an opinion of which body kit would make that blue show nice. thanks for the feedback though.

is the bmw m3 any less luxury than the sc?
