Alright everyone.
I finally decided for sure, that the car will be OEM white with twin green stripes. Still undecided on the green, of course.

Well it will always be as clean as it looks in my case!
I've been slacking since my paint is crappy atm... but when I still had my Mountaineer, I waxed it every few months and washed it twice weekly.
Granted, that beast was Black, it was all I could do to keep up with the dirt...

I thoroughly doubt that MM92 will allow any Honduh in his ride whatsoever... still, it is a perfectly valid suggestion

Color is color, color knows no brand!

It's true, my point being that things like the 350z blue look amazing on MX-3s, and I personally think that Desert Sage metallic(Lexus color, I believe) which is VERY similar to a color I've seen on a few nicer Preludes lately, is another great color!
I don't like Hondas because of their aftermarket "tuners" most common choices for "performance" upgrades, I offer props to the manufacturer for locking down a large chunk of the market, and for making cars that can take a hell of a beating, while still rolling down the road. Still, they aren't my style, and are far too common to ever be so.

Fair enough, fair reasoning. TBH, if I resprayed my car/a car I get in the future, I doubt I'd stick to the manufacturer's OEM colours. (Partly because there weren't many Eunos colours

)

I absolutely love Blaze Red when it's well maintained... Mine just depresses me. The entire right side of the car is faded horribly.

Send 'the wife' out there with a can of rubbing compound and tell her to keep at it till she can see her face in the cars shine.
Anyway, white is nice and for some reason I'm a little partial to it but green stripes I'm a little hesitant on that. the only issue with white is if there's any rust at all it stands out like a sore thumb. Changing a cars colour certainly adds to the expense but what the hay, you got money so have at it.

I'm by no means a color "expert", but I think white with very light lime green or yellow stripes would look sick...

No rust Dan
Also, I'm leaning towards Brewster green, or similar. I think it will be a good combination for an MX-3.

Unless your going with some kind of green interior compliment I think going with a colour stripe all on it's own with no interior affiliation is whack IMO..... Well, at least your teeth will match.

I'm not a fan of stripes on Mx-3s
