My 80 is crappy blue and its time for a change. I need some input on color. It has grey interior so it kinda needs to go with that. I'm open to any ideas. I've thought about spraying liner all over. Anyone paint their 80 cammo or OD green? How about desert sand? Bright red? Black? I guess I want something different that was not a standard color on an 80. Help!:beer: :beer: :beer:

Desert sand or toyo tan with a white roof is the what I would do but I have a brown interior. Not sure how it would do with a grey interior. Post up a pic of the blue you have now with a door open. Maybe some one will photochop it. If you search around someone posted up a link to a site that has all the factory paint combinations matched to specific years. The main reason I like tan is it does not show dirt. Black = hot,
 
I'm liking the tan idea. What about spraying it with desert tan liner with black bumpers?

That's the grayest blue I've ever seen.:eek:
 
I love my tan, but also have brown cloth interior...

I had an Acura that was painted "Supersonic Blue Pearl" it is by far and away the most stunning color I've ever seen on a car.
 
Here's a pic of the color:

If I were going camo this is what I would try.

Cabellas has it but I don't know anything about it. Supposedly some type of plastic covering.

Looked into this, but I'm concerned about durability. Plus thats stuffs $$$.
 
That tan loooks soo sweet. With the grey interior what about a gun metal grey or something like a dolphin grey(audi color)
 
How about the metallic pearl green that the early Honda Del Sol's had. I've thought that would be an interesting "different" color for an 80.

Or the Galapagos green of the Honda Element.
