I was racking my brain trying to figure out an image I could put over the orange in a slightly darker orange, but I came up with nothing except for a large off center slightly rotated Honda logo. So I said eff it.

who me?
i think its more about the prep than the paint.
prep:
3M Red Scuffing Pad/ Duplicolor Prep Wipe/ Dupicolor Adhesion Promoter
paint:
multiple layers of Duplicolor Truck/ SUV paint - Bahama Blue Metallic and Duplicolor Metal Specks - Ocean Blue topped off with Duplicolor Clear.

Alrighties... Im done. I havent checked the pages, pretty sure no ones done this. Only thing I dont like is all the colors are satin. Close enough to flat. Bought the paint from Lowes and I hope it holds up.
Black base coat. Olive, navy, and purple top coats.
Around the VTEC badge theres still some orange. Whatever...

Does it match like..... perfect? My guess is no.
In the pic it looks a little darker. Almost has metallic flake in it too.

on duplicolor's website it says for perfect match on MR it must be cleared. then again, I just sprayed on the cover w/o a primer. once it competely dries, the color should be more of an even match. I gave it 10min to dry before i put it on.
