Hi everybody,

I 'm going to order my new honda civic 5d 1.4 sport (at last!) but i cannot choose the colour of the car. I love this car (as everyone in this forum) and i can't decide. I would appreciate it if you could upload some photos. I'm between black and silver. Any suggestions? Thanks!

silver the paints supposed to be tougher.....

NHB is a nightmare. Chips really easily (but then so does most Honda paint these days), is a nightmare to keep clean. In the summer it's covered in pollen minutes after washing it, in winter it might as well be grey.

Go for the silver. I'll not be getting another black car.

Urban Titanium Metallic for me but each to their own. Black is hard to keep & swirls appear more obvious if not looked after. Good luck.

Get the nearest you can to the previous "Galaxy Grey" colour - mine is (almost) chip proof ...

However, all water-based paints are somewhat fragile - NOT just Honda's ! ...

Think the Urban Titanium is the nearest, agree re chips, hardly tell on mine

I thought my bonnet had been resprayed on my Galaxy Grey when I bought it it had so few stone chips on it, but 30k miles later and it still hasn't really gained anymore at all.

Urban Titanium is the closest to Galaxy Grey you'll get. Looks dam nice as well :thumbsup:

Indeed.

I would say silver over the Black if you want it to look cleaner all year round, but a NHB when polished will always look better IMO than the Silver. (I have Silver Sixth generation Civic which always look clean even in winter but my white type r shows up every spot of dirt)

Just chosse the colour you really want and you wont regret it

Thanks mates! I also saw the urban titanium and it is very nice! I have to decide in a couple of days. It's a beautiful car and i like all colours

If you can't see them, you won't know where to touch up with paint and they will rust eventually. It is a nice colour for the Civic though.

ionised bronze or cerulean blue

 

[total_k-os]

get black -its worth the pain staking effort to keep nice and shiny all year round

no seriously its a total pig to keep clean. get what ever tickles your fancy

 

[okehciv]

Polished metal is the way to go.

Polished metal, What i ment by doesn't show the stone chips is once you have touched them up.... Also noticed that the paint is harder than most of the other colours.
