Time to change color...

Also most ready to change the cover on my evo 8, trying to decide rather to stay Apex silver or change it to another color like the graphite gray that comes on the evo9 or the gunmetal gray that comes on the IS300

Graphite grey is nice. Or how about the E46 blue or a lambo grey.

I really like the grey color of the Scion FR-S and TC, not sure on the color code but it looks sick

A lot of color changes coming this winter! Cant wait to see it done!

Looking at your pics, the car is far from paint there! lol

Are you pulling all the trim and rubber weather stripping? Doing jambs?

Silver is nice/clean, but plain/boring IMO. I'd go grey or gray

I think the silver looks cleaner then the Gray. However with the body lines of an evo I think a champagne color would look pretty cool. V

Id keep it an oem colour just to maintain the authenticity of the car. I feel one you steer away from factory paint the car looses it's identity lol idk that's a Honda kid/stance thing. Painting it crazy colours. I'd personally go for base colours if you can't decide. Black, white or graphite grey is really nice. Can't go wrong with any of those.

I definitely understand what you mean about keeping the authenticity but if you're going to spend all that money you might as well do something a little different. I always liked bmw lugana seca blue. I know it's kinda crazy but I also like that brownish color the new Jetta comes in. It's a big decision so take your time and get whatever makes you happy!
