pistonbroke Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 some more pictures of Honda's in Root Beer for comparisons!

SupraRider Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Update, just been advised from my bodyshop it will cost me an arm and leg to go for any HOK colour. and i'm just not prepared to shell out anymore for paint. need to think more on the realistic side of things...if you get bumped, chipped or scraped, it will be much harder to maintain or touch up.. much better going for a manufactured colour paint! so I guess its back to the drawing board again...I'm trying to get a manufactured colour close to matching the RMC Scorpion's paint - red orange pearl. Can anyone help? or I'll go for the deep bronze pearl colour as attached. What do you think? what about this colour: New deep Bronze pearl = YR571P for the new Honda type S? It looks black from afar but when the sun shines it gives off a shade of bronze effect as you can see from the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
