Paint
Just Curious to see who has an aftermarket paint job? If yes what color. I would love to paint my evo Brown like UPS sorta, down the line. I was thinking making a poll for all the colors that would look good but way to many.

Has anyone else noticed that Graphite Grey looks like primer when it's dirty?
I don't know if you winterize or not but have you seen a UPS truck in the winter? They kinda turn turd brown with the salt and mud. If you do a full color change the right way, it will run you over $5K.

After the respray, Im having the clearbra put on it. at least on the high-assault areas like the front bumper, mirrors, lower rear fender/door area.
I'd really like to paint the engine bay also...but there's no way I will pull the engine to do it.
