Finally i will not polish the paint because there are a lot of scratches under the paint(the car has been badly repainted from the previous owner).
As i am going to use it as my ''advertising car'' i want to repaint it with a bright colour...Any ideas pls??

Red and Yellow would be nice, but on a Civic, Red!

Middle one. Check out the Habanero Red from Honda, it kinda matches the middle selection.

I'm still very partial to the Milano Red they used to have. I'd do a metal flake or pearl to add some pop to it too!

Depends on the quality of the paint job, seen some sick looking yellows before

Honestly, any loud colors on an import are going to be frowned upon. Red is fairly easy to maintain (compared to black) and looks wetter than any other color IMO. If you want to attract customers, that would be my pick.
