Like this one:

Yeah, the flat black and the steel rims make that car scream high class. Good thing it's a hatch back, you'll need the room for the Mexicans.

You're looking for a gunmetal finish. I know Honda used a nice gunmetal paint on one of their early 00's Interceptors. Do a little research and then call Honda for the color code.

if you can, look through 2005 issues of sport compact car, there was an entire artcile about the "matte black paintjob" like that honda has, it was a damn decent look honestly. it made the cover, so it should be easy to spot.

Are you really thinking of giving the MR2 a rattle-can paintjob?

Why don't you do things like manual conversion, rediculous cage/suspension shit before you do that?


I might just have to come over there and kick you in the baby-maker.

I dont think you can get it that clean with a rattle can, best bet is to use a spray gun and some flat black paint. and spray a clearcoat or two.

American Icon has all the paint stuff. just buy a cheap spray gun a harbor freight and a moistier filter.
