Default Moonrock,Monte Carlo Blue, or Imola Orange

As many of you know, more than 50% of my car needs a repainting. Should I stay stealthy, or take this opportunity to change to a color unavailable in the U.S.? I know it's ultimately my choice, but I'm just taking opinions. Keep in mind that I have a Mugen SS front bumper, and therefore the "smile" effect will be more pronounced on non-black colors.

Of those choices I'd go for moonrock. But, I would also go for some kind of white. The white with your wheels...

I'm leaning towards moonrock too. It's subtle and yet rare.

I haven't been keeping up. Anyone got a picture of moonrock? I do really love Monte Carlo Blue. If that color was available when I first bought my S, that's the one I would have picked up. Then again, black is bad ass.

To tell you the truth, I haven't priced it yet. I'm sure it will be big bucks, but it has to be painted anyway. I'm afraid it won't be possible to match the paint too well considering all of the rock chips on the undamaged side of the car, thus the complete repaint option...

to tell you the truth,
after seeing all those pics, i like the monte carlo blue

however it does remind me of the RSX type S artic blue pearl

so you might wanna stick w/ the moon rock

then again thats just my opinion

It is true that a lot of exterior panels need refinishing, however, I don't think you're taking into account the huge degree of difficulty that goes into a total repaint. I would imagine that the cost difference is huge! Door jams, hood interior, window frame, and trunk interior all require removing a whole lot more things than the accident repair. Having said that I vote for Moonrock or Monte Carlo.
