What colour is it now!
What colour do you want it to be!
Do you want door jams, engine bay etc painted also!
What condition is it in now!
How much prep work is required!
Do you expect a blemish free showroom result!

Unless you can prep the vehicle properly and up to a professional spray-painters standards, then leave the prep to the painter. Other wise you may just be creating headaches for them.

No need to buy the paint yourself if you are taking to a panel and paint shop, as the will all the paint there available.

Expect the paint job to be worth more than your Honda Integra's resale value.

and dont bother unless you paint the whole thing.

perhaps paint it silver again- saves tons of work

even a slightly different silver, nobody will notice the engine bay is a little different

$800 for a cheap job. It will look good as long as you don't look closely at it.
