To camo or not to camo...

[CrackerTeg]

I've been contemplating a paint job for quite some time. One idea that came to mind was urban camo. The colors I'd use are grey, white, and black. I have absolutely no intention of ever selling my car, so resale isn't a concern. A plus to this idea, the wife said she would never ride along.
My question to you guys, am I off my rocker or what?

I actually kind of like the idea. I know you said urban camo for the color scheme, but which camo pattern did you have in mind?

No offense to you or your tastes but I personally think that would cheapen the look of the vehicle.  This chick I know did that vinyl wrap thing to her STI with the urban camo and I thought it looked cheap.  I think you'd lose the sharp, elegant look of your Accord.  But just my opinion...

Not going with digital. Too damn complicated to pull off.

I hear ya. I'm also sick of the same damn colors all over the road. Makes me feel like we're sheep. Granted, a modded Accord is certainly different but the paint would be that last pop. Besides, with the mods I have in mind, elegance is out the window. I'm going for shear aggression with what I want under hood.

I'm also thinking of going with a satin clear to finish it off. Obviously, I'm still on the fence with the idea.

If youre gonna go camo, just do a vehicle wrap

[gargantula99]

I agree with the No!

[CrackerTeg]

No.

Why?

My paint is fucked as it is. Doing the wrap isn't much of a benefit with regards to being able to peel it off later.

I agree with the No!

See my response to Mark.

Guys. I'm looking for your reasons as to why or why not I should do it. So far, quickkick is the only one that gave a good argument why I shouldn't and Rush is liking the idea. I like it because its different from EVERYTHING else on the road and were there another urban camouflaged vehicle on the road, the pattern is different. What's wrong with different?

[gargantula99]

Show me an example of what you plan on doing.  I just don't think an accord is something that will look good with camouflage.  It's not that type of car.

It's ugly.  Being unique and different is one thing, doing so with a camo paint job is another.  It stands out, but in my opinion, not in a good way.

Google is the shiznizzle dizzle.

I like the lighter camouflage on the C30 with the heico performance parts better than the darker version evo. I still don't know if i would do it.  But that's just my opinion.

[Rushzer0]

That looks awesome haha!

[CrackerTeg]

I'm kinda leaning towards the EVO version.

I don't like it.  Maybe on a race car, or even a show car, but not a daily driver.  Something like that will draw too much negative attention.
