The Superhero Car of Choice for '82

So, I have a matter of grave importance that needs a solution. As most, if not everyone, knows, I have a rather old, slightly beat up Civic hatchback. Now it's been restored somewhat, (We blasted the rust off and filled the holes with goo [aka "bodywork"]), and it is now in need of a paint job. I need/would like people's opinions on what colour to paint it. The options are as follows: Corvette yellow, Porsche red (which really isn't an option because it costs more than my car did), Omaha orange, and Aqua Metallic (basically baby blue, and not really all that metallic; just some smallish sparkles). If any other more superb colour options come to mind, I would appreciate hearing your opinion. Not that it will really change much, but I'm sure you'll feel better because of it. Thanks! :o)

I don't know, I suppose I'm one of the more indecisive ones in the group. I was going to say red, but since that's not an option . . . I think that the sparkly "Aqua Metallic" sounds good. Either that or the "Omaha Orange." But just so you know, there are no worries if you choose a different colour. I think you should see what colour the majority of the group would like your beautiful car to be.

orange??? eewwwww!!! Everyone knows that civics are either red or yellow! I don't get it though, I thought red paint was the cheapest color??? Isn't that why farmers paint their barns red? Anyway I highly reccommend red and all efforts to afford it! :D

Fine, you win, Josh. I changed my mind. Caroline, you should paint the top of the car red and the bottom yellow! Or just try affording the red paint because apparently Josh doesn't like orange for some reason. It's okay though. I think I like the idea of red the best though, seriously. It's one of my most liked car colours. True story :)

can't we all just get along and paint it with spots??!!! I say PURPLE. why you ask? simply because it's purple. do you need anymore reason than that? that's what I thought. so go with the light blueishwhateveritwas. because that's what I think best suits you. THE END.

pink would be cool. it would stick out that's for sure. you would never lose your car in a parking lot. you'd just look past all the dull colors and see a bright pink.
lol

Orange is a gross colour even though my cloves are orange. I would say go with Hot Pink or maybe a Lime Green. Get something that will stick out but still a single colour.

YOUR colour feels hurt? What about ME? I give and I give and I'm even willing to change my mind so others can get what they like and then people STILL keep offending me and my thoughts! As in at first I think for JUST A SECOND that orange would look alright and then Josh says he likes red and NOT orange so then I say that red's a good colour and then Kiersten says SHE doesn't like red and I have no clue what to do! And at least if purple wasn't included in the study then that would imply that it wasn't in the negatives, Kara! (Orange got
-29%) Haha, just kidding, guys. No hurt feelings. Honest :) Anyway, can't wait to see what colour you finally DO end up painting your car, Caroline!

Why is it that only Josh, Jordan and I spell color the American way and all y'all are all Canadian spellers?
Actually don't answer that for the answer is obvious.

i vote black. that way, you can just call it a really dark shade of whatever colour you want. it's also cheaper than rainbow, although that would be my second choice...followed by MAG-enta (courtesy of the infamous Joanna Blair).

Just don't get a colour that shows scratches. Or else get pink! Black and White are as bad as orange ewwwww... well maybe not but almost.
