Color plays a huge role in the overall look of a car
Its such a high calibre build
and the satin black just doesn't do it
Even basic gloss white wouldve have been neat but okay , everyone has thier own vision and taste .
Agreed, I think a glossy dark blue or something would have made the carbon pop more too
Can't believe we waited for a Civic with a base coat on it
Yeah should had a normal everyday Civic color
Yeah, I’m extremely disappointed with the final outcome. This misses the mark
maybe they will put some livery on it once its finished to rep the throtl new livery
Been waiting for this for ages. Everyone has there own personal look but I feel that it would of looked better matching the car colour to the grey in the carbon so it was more subtle
Yeah it's a bit of a hard juxtaposition.
100% driving by people won't even see the carbon, it'll just look like a junker. The doors being naked carbon is a bad shout for sure
That was exactly what I thought when I saw it. It kinda through me off that it didn't match
I think I’m with everyone that this level of build shouldn’t be finished with the black Home Depot rattle can look, but Mick’s visions are usually off.
I legit thought when he was in front of it with the "reveal" that the color is the primer not the final color. It's a bad look for sure. Then again most civic hatches have the stigma of rattle can paint jobs.
I still don't forgive him for putting JDM wheels on that Mustang.
For the record I meant aren’t* but I don’t agree with this one.
@@pedrorodrigueziii4859 Or the neon yellow calipers with the bronze wheels on the NSX 😅😅😅
Been watching this build for what seems forever and a half. Super sick to see how much progress this thing has had in these episodes... but I agree with some folks that the rattle can primer look just doesn't do the car justice. Roast me.
The doors not being paint matched make it look unfinished.
🧢🧢
yah!! if they painted it a greyish color to match the carbon it would've looked more complete. but i think this car deserves a proper color
Yup. I thought the last photo before the reveal was just the primered car lol. When he revealed it on the trailer I was like WTF? They gotta start stepping in on Mickey's "visions" hahah.
Thats a baller move, who own carbon fiber door? Perfect match
This!! Satin black looks unfinished most of the time and to not have the doors painted makes it even more so.
Doors look funny. Looks unfinished and rattle can primered. Love the work you guys do, and a radical build like this deserves a better color.
Me not having the patience to watch the video through to find out the paint color and skipping to halfway through, "Oh, a dark grey primer, that's interesting. I wonder how far I have to skip to see the final color layer...."
pity you never knew
@@Ace2023c I'll never know...
Gonna have to see the finished product. Not a fan of the satin/matte look anymore. I’m sure it’ll turn out bad ass, but as of now, I’m not feeling this one.
They always build cars how I would’ve built them when I was 12 I agree with you on this one but i hope this turns out good
I think it will once they add all the Throttle green bits
@@JFlogerzi truueee that might do it
Have to agree, satin look is played out. I think re doing the red with the carbon bits would have looked awesome.
I think cherry red would have been so nice with all the carbon personally.
damn that satin to carbon is sort of an eye sore
That's it? I thought it was just base coat.
The “so what color you going to paint it?” questions will get old and this will end up a different color down the road. The hood, roof and trunk don’t look bad but the doors make it look like it’s still just primer and waiting for paint.
yeah i like the look except for the doors. If they just did the top all carbon it would be dope.
seems like everyone in the comments doesn’t really like the colors scheme 😅
thats because it could have been done with a spray can in anyone driveway. they say how insane it looks but I see 50 beaters a day looking the exact same. waste of money
yeah god forbid someone does what they want with their car.
@@phenomenologicalparadox5216 - LOL. Right.......
This had potential to be insanely cool. Waited months for updates on this thing, pretty let down by the result. Oh well
This car deserves a paint job with color man , but hey it’s not my build
When I saw the pictures of the finished car from the body shop, I assumed that the car was in primer and they would reveal the final color later on. I was wrong.... lol
Looks like someone plasti dipped the entire car but not the carbon pieces because you gotta make sure everyone knows which parts are carbon 🤣
I would expect a teenager to do something like this.
@@josephthames2795 exactly lol
We all have been waiting so long on this project and I think I speak for most people when I say the matte black chalkboard look isn't it. Micky's track record on paint and accents has not been on point lately, I'm just waiting for the floral yellow. But its your car, so go nuts.
I love the channel and just wanted to give feedback, I know you guys read the comments - Much love
I just don't get why they used the east wood spray paint color, because they're sponsored? Cmon
All that expense on paying a body shop to get the car looking perfect and it still looks like it was painted on the driveway with a rattle can. Matt black just looks so cheap!
The two tone doesn’t do the car justice glad you like it Mickey.
Took it unpainted in a enclosed trailer then took it in an open trailer painter?? 🤔
Not a fan of flat or satin colours, but I like how you didn’t let the carbon pop by spaying it with a flat clear aswell! Can’t wait for the rest of the build though! One of the most interesting/coolest builds you guys have done in my opinion!
Would have loved it more if it was painted in Nighthawk Pearl so it matches the gloss carbon fiber panels! Anyways that's a clean and rustproof car! Can't wait to see the final results!
Hoping the matt/satin black is just a base for a livery or wrap
Everyone's vision is their own but it just appears to me, as a final color scheme, to be incomplete 😩. Give me uniformity all day.
If you win the car just wrap it no one knows
@@emanh4keem_san420 I like your adaptive thinking. But if I'm not mistaken this is Mickey's personal project.
Hands down one of the best projects of this channel.
and Hatch Civics going up in value like boom!
It looks awkward with the carbon doors and hood combined with the satin paint
I thought the company fucked up and did the doors and other parts with a different paint batch.
Having 2 different finishes on the car is a bad shout imo lads... Satin black is a dead colour too, super overdone. Shame was pumped for this one... P.s the bare carbon on the doors has gotta go man
Love the matte carbon! BUT the matte black should've been gloss
Mind blown at some of these clowns hating on this car because you don’t like the…paint (I personally think it’s 🔥, AND you kept the raw carbon look just to please the fans). It’s one thing not to like the color but to hate on this dude’s skills or vision is pure insanity. This car is art, straight up and good luck finding this kind of dedication anywhere else. It’s also completely unique and pushing boundaries in new ways (you went RWD because others were not really doing it), so mad respect to that. Keep up the good work Mickey and team….it’s been fun watching you learn some new skills and flex on such a fab heavy build. The attention to detail is off the charts. I think that’s something that any of us who has even a fraction of that passion needs to be doing. Thanks for the content, been lurking for a long time and subscribed because of this car.
The doors just need to be painted too!
Definitely wasn’t expecting this, was definitely hoping for a colour that pops, something bright.
Slightly disappointed
Ugh 😔
Never been a huge Civic fan but I would bloody love a go in that one when it's finished! Loving the Matt black and carbon look that just sets off the whole car. The grey on the interior is a good call too. Can't wait for the engine install
🤷🏻♂️ about the color looks like it was left at primer stage, good thing it’s not mine 😅
Yeah, really looks unfinished tbh 😂
I love it! And I think I know why a lot of people arent' in love with it:
Same reason some cars look WAY better in person than on camera and vice versa. Some cars photograph very well, but in person are a bit meh.. and then some cars look a bit boring on media, but in person are so much more interesting. On phone screens or on your monitor, the carbon is just a slight departure from the satin black, so it looks "odd" but in person, when you compare proper carbon vs a satin black, it has a nice contrast and theme.
The problem with digital recording vs seeing something like this in person is really shown here. I've seen satin black and carbon on cars in person, but digital doesn't handle it well. Human eyes are more sensitive to color and texture than digital. it has a tendency to "round to the nearest numeric representation." It's like comparing a live performance to a digital recording. There's more nuance in being there in natural environments than experiencing something through a flat screen or just a pair of earbuds.
Experiment with taking pictures of graph paper and a digital camera... and then take video of that graph paper, only moving the graph paper on a flat plane. I'll bet it looks.. in a word.. ".unnatural... " but then use your eyes and do the same and it'll look just fine.
Can’t say I’m a big fan of the two toneish carbon on the satin black. The entire car in a gloss would’ve looked amazing
That would have been sharp. Some high gloss would be dope
Eh, I can appreciate the finish of the paintwork, but the car looks like it's ready for paint, not just back from it.
This'll be the first car throttle has done that I don't like I think. The paint really doesn't look good at all.
Let me guess Mickey, florescent yellow accents? 😉
Of course!
Def needs it
The current color makes it look unfinished...
That’s because it is unfinished........
Should have done a matte graphite gray instead of matte black to match similar to the matte carbon parts 🔥🔥...must be a honda thing to have mismatched panels...🤣🙄😛
At first I was like " wo wo wo wtf ,did they just miss matched the door color 🤔" 😅😅😅
Can't tell the strut cover thingys they welded on don't even look as if they were welded on. What a clean job by BCC to make it look all smooth and OEM. Holy cow... and the car probably looks a lot cooler in person. It's hard to tell the carbon parts are carbon in video.
I dig the look. The vision is different and it’s nice to see something that breaks away from the norm.
satin black breaks away from the norm? lol
My fingers broke the sound barrier hitting the notification of this video. Loveeeee it mick. Are you planning to run the black housing headlights? Or even the air intake light housing, or keeping chrome. Love this man. Looks sick
In the late 90's I had a 92 Si and this makes me miss it. Super fun car the drive, maybe not "fast" but fun.
I hoped for the white and fluorescent yellow but excited to see this project wrapped up. I really hope a livery ties the doors together with the black. I agree with other people saying the doors stand out.
I was clearly skeptical about the 2 tone matte / carbon satin style. But the carbon varnished like that matches the matte black parts perfectly.
The general rendering is both impressive and a bit destabilizing (doors). The quality of work is truly exceptional and in the idea of the project and its ultimate goal, the chosen style is perfectly legitimate and understandable. Like you said, it's a track car, not a show car. The more I look at it, the more I find it awesome!
Does it follow the habits? Certainly not!
Is that a good thing? Absolutely!
I can't wait to see the evolution of the project, I wish you that everything goes as planned! Cheers from France.
Been waiting for this ek honda civic to be worked on and it's looking amazing...love the ideas thats gone into if .. can't wait to see that inline motor inside the freak 🤘
Frek'n epic! Just finished watching all 22 videos for the EK. Can't wait to see more work done to this beast.
Needs Floral yellow accents. In all honesty, this is so dam clean. I love all the carbon exposed and being the star of the show. Can't wait to see it on the track. Honestly I'm getting Cyberpunk vibes off this thing. Keep up the good work Mikey / Throtl team.
I’ve waited on the Instagram story timer for 30minutes
You guys killed it! The matte looks so good! And that roof!
Maaannnn, already way better than any civic I see in the central valley lol definitely one of my favorite Throtl builds
I love the contrast between the satin black and matt carbon. So clean
Love me some Trek content! Love this car. It's Mickey's car, so my opinion doesn't matter, but I have to be honest, I don't like the color. Looks like an unfinished car. Nevertheless, can't wait for what's next with this thing!
yeah use eastwood myself great company has some great products and tools that you can always use. BCC does like me with panel bond and seam sealer man that really helps get the body even more ridged and allot cleaner looking.
The style of builds on this channel have never really aligned with my own, but I'm all for everyone doing what makes them happy.
YEESSSSSS!!!!!!! Finally I’ve been waiting for this build to be finished it’s honestly my favorite built of all.
The flat back & flat carbon just looks like a common wrap job instead of actual paint.
They should have went all out with the paint.
It’s a track car, paint is gonna be ruined by rocks and all sorts of stuff , not a show car man
Man that colour with the carbon is so subtle really tasteful choice! Love it
I clicked so fast 😂
Fr
no you didn’t
Me too
....To be greeted with a disappointing matte black paint job :(
Same
Clicked so fast VTEC still has not kicked in. I knew Mickey would absolutely crush this thing. Well done. 330!!
a lot of people hating on the satin black, but it makes since if he's trying to keep the carbon exposed and have the car as close to one color as possible. Not gonna lie, I was expecting a bright vibrant paint color, but this is nice and will look even better when everything is all together and complete. Trust the process.
If I remember correctly this is supposed to be a track oriented car. You try not to paint race cars black because the cabin gets stupid hot on summer days. And you typically do interiors/cages/engine bays white to 1. Help with heat 2. Mainly to help you spot leaks. At least thats how we do it in rally.
Man the EK looks amazing. i hope you collab with the gears and gasoline guys and get Ben's opinion about this on the track vs his fwd Civic.
The freak and Z EV all painted and ready to go, can't wait to see these two builds fully come together
Either paint all the satin black some type of white and leave the carbon or do a crazy throttle vinyl wrap on it. That satin with the carbon just makes it look unfinished so something to contrast to make it look like it was on purpose would make it look way better
Reminds me of all the local teenagers wanting everyone to know what parts are carbon fiber on their car. It would have been more impressive to have all the carbon color matched to the car and hidden.
I love the Mickey spec personal cars they seem to just be that 1 step higher than you can think someone will go, the Bad Apple was that above extra and Your white waggon that was off the scale. Wicked paint finish Mickey.
Not gonna lie, I saw the car painted and couldn’t stop looking at the doors because I thought they weren’t paint matched with rest of the car... and then I realised they were carbon
How do you paint match the carbon on the mustang and do the complete opposite on this build? Especially with this color combo... doesn’t look complete...
Not a fan of the satin black/carbon like others have stated. However, Mickey usually has a solid vision so I’ll reserve judgment until it’s finished. That said, the attention to detail and quality of the paint is great.
All good things must take time. Great job guys keep up the quality content
Others may hate it... I can already see the vision of where this is going and can be. Let them wait and see how this all comes together. And kudos for ACTUALLY going against the grain for the THROTL builds.
That colour pick with that carbon is amazing!! This is gonna be a mean civic😏
I’m sure the crew will make it look amazing when it’s finished, but as of right now it kinda looks like it was painted with flat black grill paint
Such a shame, would definitely look better in a colour that’s helps to show off how much work has gone into it
Damn seeing this video makes me more excited about getting my ek hatch back from the shop. It's currently getting frame work done and can't wait to start putting work into it
IMO: if you did a gun metal satin it would’ve flowed a little better but you can prob have premium do a livery or something would look super dope. Specially as a track car
Iv been excited about this project for a while, it's cool to see it come together
Hey throtl, can’t wait to see this finished keep uploading more on the civic :)
All these coments about the bad choice of color... I think its actually very nice (for a track car, which it is)
The paint actually matches the idea of a rad track rwd civic, it does not need to be colourful. Plus it will look very cool with the sponsor's stickers and maybe a simple livelry.
Keep the good work guys!!!
Dang.. was super excited to see the color but man.. wish the paint color was different. Wanted midori green.. Looks like a good rattle can paint job. But oh well. Dope car
Yoooooo the matte finish with the carbon??? 😍😍😍 LOOKS AMAZING GUYS
one of my dream cars for sure. looks clean being black with the subtle carbon fiber
Also the matte carbon looks like wrap
This is my favourite build at the shop and the paint colour is 🔥🔥🔥
I'd daily the FREK! I might be alone in my thought but I'm digging the satin black.
I would love to see titanium charge piping and a black and orange Throtl livery!
So glad to finally see the freak back on the page
I would have done the matte over the carbon wait until done then match that grey for the rest. Would make a walk up much more impactful to see the carbon unfold from the grey
I think it looks sharp. Can't wait to see the finished car. Thank you for not painting the carbonfiber.
I hate how amazing this build is turning out! Great work
Definitely the most out there build . Not your traditional yellow ,black ,or white civic hatch . I think with the right wheel choice this could look good . But being rwd and turboed does the outside really matter .
Love the stealthy murdered look!!! Anxious to see what the wheels are(not sure if it was shown or not, been a while lol)
Honestly, it looks like a car with all new panels that did not get painted with some carbon bits. I think it would look sweet with nearly matching grey and the exposed carbon
I like dark greys and blacks so i like the color scheme, with the right wheels it'll look dope.
i think everyone didn't like the matte finish. but since mickey always told the purpose of this project car, that's actually works. the looks actually just like a prototype of race car under development, improvement.
stealthy but awesome in performance was like a track weapon, to add Smiles per hour.
*sorry, just my opinion
Everything looks mint. I personally don’t like the doors in carbon makes it look like you got doors from a wreckers yard until you get up close. I think you should’ve gone black on them too
Every throtl upload makes my day
I would’ve gone with Type R yellow and all carbon in gloss and add fenders in carbon so only the quarter panels and door jams / engine bay yellow 🔥
