rootbeer

ok go back to your local honda dealer and take a look at the element sc in the sickest color honda has dared to make - ROOTBEER ! ! ! IT'S BAD ASS and if i had a choice i'd have picked it, and i'm lazy in my old age and hate washing all my cars, thats why i buy white (well i like white too) but i had a crx painted a reall dark brown metallic color and everybody lived the color, it wasn't rootbeer but close!

Love the "Rootbeer" but not sure how itd look on the fit. Some cars look good in certain colors while others dont. But i have personally always liked Satin Black on Honda's. AS long as you have the wide fender flares

I have always had a dream of owning a car that would look good coated in gun metal metallic with crimson pearl. Dont know how it would look on a fit, but just a though. I like the green and Brown ideas too. Maybe a little more brown than the rootbeer. Also a subtle orange (I dont know how subdued you can make orange), ala 2007 350Z... Just food for thought. Takes some serious low hangers to pull off an orange car.

If my funds ever build up i wouldnt mind getting the M-Type 13 piece widebody kit and paint the car satin black. But thats a ton of money to have it done right. so i doubt it will ever happen haha.

Another color i think may work is some kind of copper color. Cant find any pictures of exactly what i have in mind :/

I'd love to see the Fit in a dark red/burgundy like color. Root beer would be interesting, but I'm not a big fan of brown colored cars.

+1. I think a really rich green would look great on a Fit. It would also fit in really well with the current range of colors.

Umm not too sure if the rainbow sparkles would show up that great. You could lay down a pearl basecoat and you may get some kind of effect. You would have to use dry pearl though as mixing different company liquid paints and pearls can come out bad.
