Colour combinations for my Turbocharged Honda City

SRK · 3rd August 2008, 12:01

I got an overcoat done on my zen for about Rs 22K/- (includes body work).
everything except the engine was removed.

If you plan for the same colour then go for an overcoat.
If you want to go for a change in colour then you will have to dis-assemble your whole car for a good paintjob. (which will definitely increase the overall cost.)

I advice for an overcoat if you can live with the same colour!!

Cyrus - thats some amazing work!

Jitu - The color in the 1st pic of post 23 looks most seamless.

The Car goes for complete paint Job tomorrow & it will have same paint as on EVO VIII MR FQ400 as in pic.

That sure is gonnabe kickbutt! Good combination i must say, the car will be a scorcherer. Good luck on the job.

Looking forward to the finished car. The alloys are sweet, Superleggera look alikes. I can already imagine a stonker of a City.
Keep us updated with progress pics Jitu!

Lovely colour choice, and even more lovely alloys. In fact I was asking Satya the other day about the same set of alloys for my car, and they are super super light also.

kaushik_s · 6th October 2008, 17:12

Nice color choice, but that alloy in picture is Samurai SC01 not light S2 afaik.

ankitahuja · 7th October 2008, 18:48

WoWoW! That's exactly my kinda colour

Dig the mags, im getting very very impatient to see the final outcome. Keep posting WIP pictures Jitu.

The color is A39 graphite grey pearl 2005. And the Mitsubishi part number for touch up is MZ313354

Perfect!! Just perfect!

Forget the color of the car, those alloys alone will make any car look killer.

Way to go Jitu!!!
