This time next week the wagon will have a new paint job...and I don't know what color yet.
I liked the yellow on NJCIVICWAGON1's thread, what was that? I want something like this but yellower

    I've been wavering between the staid original color or something different. Seems that every wagon I see around here is the same color...blah. My wife tells me all the time she should've gotten the Solar Yellow Xterra instead of green,, so I think"why not?"


    Thought about that 350Z coppery color, but I ain't fast enough for that!

    Show me some colors. My buddy who's painting it has the machine where you can mix just about any color from a code, what'll it be?

    I like this site when I'm playing with paint options:
    http://paintscratch.com/

    The colors are limited to screen display, but they are near approximations. Might help you narrow down your options.

    Maybe: Honda's "Euro Yellow Pearl Metallic Clearcoat" Y-62P

    Thanks, I'll check it out.
  • pLaYbOipLaYbOi Wagonist
    did you wanna go with more yellow or would somethin like a champagne or desert(sp?) sand color work???

    The new Honda Fit Yellow/gold is very nice.

    If you have a child just feed them carrot baby food and they produce shit that's called carrotana yellow. That's the colour you are after for sure.
