I've owned my del Sol Si since 1993, and I have seen lots of custom painted del Sols. I think that they look best in bright colors. The body lines or lack thereof don't benefit from dark metallics much. Jellybean shapes look best in jellybean colors like pastels. I didn't like any of the four colors offered on the del Sol in 1993, so I bought black, with the intention of painting the car later. When it was time to paint it, I went to the Porsche dealer, and picked up the paint chip guide. A del Sol dropped on exotic wheels, and dripping in exotic paint can be mistaken by the masses as exotic. I have been asked many times "what kind of car is that?" When I respond "a Honda", I get looks of bewilderment. Here are some colors that I think might look good on a del Sol:

BMW Leguna Seca Blue:

I love all the OEM Black Honda's I have had. I would never do any other color but Championship White, which is the color we are painting the 4Runner. (BTW-I am not a professional Painter)
