I am considering repainting my Civic. I would rather keep it a stock color if I can find one that really grabs me. I have seen several red/silver two tone Civics lately and really like that look. I am just hoping that someone with an original brochure could scan it for me.

champagne beige metallic, E-AT_me, is that the color of the one pictured on the site you keep referencing?
Honda, because it's hard to look baller in your mom's Volvo.
The entire tool selection at Sears or the contents of a Snap-On truck will do you no good if you do not know how to use them.

E_AT me, sorry I forgot to delete the previous string when responding, I meant was champagne beige metallic a colour featured on the website that you keep referencing. I keep looking for an orange metallic very similar to the 1 and 2g hatches for my 3g and can't find a close enough match to the code.

Thanks guys. It appears as though the '84 S hatch only came in Gothic Grey, Greek White, and Victoria Red, and only with the silver lowers. Gives me limited options if I want to retain the authenticity. I hate to say it, but I have actually been thinking monochromatic black would look pretty damn good. I swore off owning black cars though. Of course its not a daily driver....

i like the grey.. it's a very "in" color right now though.. paint it white. like my hatch... heheheee.
actually, i think the red would look good too.
no black.. i don't think it would look right. sorry. my opinion..
btw, 21373669, you talking about the site in my signature?

Why bother if its a factory reject or not, it looks clean. like an oil slick. it looks good. If thats the original paint job then someone kept up that really well.And I just checked on the paint. you've got a color that is called burn black metallic, and it was only offered on the Hatch. Congratulations on a rare paint job.

Black would look sick! With the widebody and stuff it would really make it look devilish.

sorry, it was offered on 85 CRX Si's, too. i don't know what color the 86-87 black crx Si's were, but i know the 85's were blackburn.
as for me, like i said, i wouldn't do black. it would hide everything too much, i think..

There's a kind of slate blue that comes on Mini Coopers that I really like. Similar to the Civic's Baltic Blue, but a bit more modern, and still fitting:
This is what I'll be going with whenever I get the Civic repainted.

not to be nit-picky, but I think I might've found a typo:
D13A2 - 1500 Carbureted Engine
D15A2 - 1300 Carbureted Engine
D15A3 - 1500 Fuel Injected Engine
I think the numbers "1300" & "1500" should be switched, maybe?
