Pretty Kewl.. I like the color

[ghost_ny]

yeah very unique

[Grant2k]

i like the color but i'm not sure about it on the bumper. it looks pretty clean and smooth though. i might try that stuff in black because i used Bumper Black on mine and it's not holding up great in the front.

[TJ89Accord]

looks like poo, doesnt match at all. But nice job I guess.

I always thought Poo was Brown, Sometimes Yellow or even green.. but not blue. Looks good..

[TJ89Accord]

If the whole car was that color, then it would look good. But it clashes pretty bad with the other blue, making it an eye sore.

tim

[adams86lxi]

not bad!!!:)

[ghost_ny]

i think hes tryin to match the emblem i think its cool though. it would look better with some clear tails

[goldyaccord]

:huh: :barf:

Honestly, if you left it at that and if I just randomely saw you drivin.. I'd laugh HARD

Doesnt make sense to paint it bluish. Just do Black OMG

Gonna have to agree with ya on this one....it just clashes way too much...IMO anyways! Whatever floats your boat though, man! :)

[Project-LXi]

I dont think the color looks bad, it kinda goes w/ the emblem, however it does look a bit out of place, being the only body piece that color. I think if you painted your molding to match that color, it would give it some flow. Overall, I gotta say nice work!

[iloveJDMblackrims69]

GET A DARK DARK WINDOW TINT SO NOBODY WILL SEE YOU!!! LOL jp......nice job painting, but i dunno about that color....maybe a lil darker would be nicer....and your gonna do more of the trim right?

[1988starter]

weird

[87lxi accord]

that color is nasty :barf: with your cars color and its a random spot to but it, never try to color coordinate with a sticker lol

[blazin3gen]

dude that looks cool, i think u should paint the moldings and stuff

[blazin3gen]

ok i changed the color best color matching i could do, but damn that color looks badass!

All of the moulding is going to get painted, that was just a test. All I really had time to do this weekend. I'll also probably do some of the other trim in that color. I'll post more pics as more of the car get's done.

[blazin3gen]

i think it looks good in that color what do u think

[HostileJava]

I do like the color, but it reminds me a little of Ford for some reason.

I think you should paint the bumpers the same color as the car. Or just do black again.

[‹^› ‹(•¿•)› ‹^›]

Dude.. I have seen your car in person.. Your Hatch kicks ass.. I like the color idea and kudos on the spraying.. SH*t came out smooth.. Keep it up

[TJ89Accord]

I think it looks better black.

[Gregs89AccordLxi]

Man u did a good job painting it, looks smoooth. I bet once u paint all the moldings the same color its gonna look Goood!

Thanks, I appreciate all the comments. The color really is a little brighter then I thought it was going to be, but it's not as bright as when I first took that picture anymore. It looks like I might have a 3 day weekend coming up so hopefully I can finish up.

[original2k]

yeah i agree that it does "look" better black, but it looks super unique and...........wicked :pimp: with that fusion color, every1 seems to just like a clean stock look, but your idea is great cuz u won't look like every other 3g on the road, and you'll be letting other ppl know that too

[i.c.]

where can i get that stuff, i need to repaint my bumpers, there faiding...

[88LX-iSedan]

Hey i think it looks really good, Considering it does clash a bit. TJ89ACCORD, You're really not one to talk from the looks of your sig... Black hood with the headlight housing white :barf:

I finally found the stuff at Sherwin Williams.

[i.c.]

Sherwin Williams, ok, theres one in the city i'm going to in a couple of weeks(upstate ny!)

[ohvee_89accord]

That's tight homey. Fa shizzle. What color do you think would look good on the factory brown/gold color? Thats what color mine is...and I think I'm gonna steal your idea, cause that's tight. :pimp:

[meohmy01]

does it repel from dirt like other spray paint of plastic? i had hell doind my interior black. i didn't do vynal die because i wanted it flat but i'm now thinking of something with more of a gloss but the last owner must have used a shit load of armoral so it just bubbles up.

[stizle]

Java wat up bro, missed you this weekend, kinda forgot but anyway bumper looks good i dont agree on the color though. maybe like a chrome color no?

he painted his hood white for your info ;)

[A Dawg Jr]

Damn dude, that's sick. I like it a lot. The colors do clash a little, but I like it. Alothough that second pic that Blazin2gen did looked bad ass. I think a darker blue to match your car a little more. But that's cool, good idea.

[TJ89Accord]

Thanks lol... And it was a BLUE hood not a BLACK lol. And I didn't do it for the looks, I did it because the white hood that my car came with flew up while driving down the road, and the blue one was free... Seriosly though, you did a good job painting it, I just think a different color would be better. It looks like you are trying to hard to make your car look cool.

tim

[88' Accord Ltd]

IMO I think that the moldings looked better in black. But props for trying something new!!

[iloveJDMblackrims69]

yea i would get the black fusion and your car would look awesome.................. IMO its gonna look weird when it all comes out light blue

[87lxi accord]

yea its that kinda flashy show car color weither go with the whole car that color wich i dont think would look that good or jus go back to black, actually might as well paint them the color of your car, that'd be the cleanest look.

Just stick with black paint on the bumpers if you have a DX. or color the bumpers the same color as the body. :)

[HondaBoy]

damn dude, u repainted the whole car just for us to see a different color. hehe. naw, actually its looks pretty good. does that fusion stuff realy work good cuz i was going to wanna buy some.

[hot86accrd86]

damn that paint is tight i was thinkin of doin my bumpers a slver then get my car painted the same color

[Accord3GFreak]

I think you sould Paint the car that one color (Light Blue). It wouldn't look bad and it wouldn't make that stripe stand out.

[iamvandemon]

finish the trim and it will look pimpin. nice to see another NE Pa 3Geez enthusiast on the site. good luck bro.

[HostileJava]

Well, I still haven't been able to finish painting the trim on the outside of the car. It's rained every weekend since I did the rear bumper. I did however paint the trim around the headlights with the same color and also painted "eye's" on a pair of old headlights that I have. I think it looks pretty cool. Also painted some of the interior trim with the same color. This was accomplished in the garage. However there is just not enough room to do the bumper trim in the garage. I'll post pics as soon as I can get some.

[chronicsinners]

how about stock black moulding?

[HostileJava]

Ummmmmmmm, No I don't think so.

[blazin3gen]

how come everybody says black? i think the black makes the car look ghetto aka dx models, no offense to the DX people :D

[MrBen]

haha screw you! :D

I wonder if I can get the fusion shit the same color as my car.

[dj99]

Thanks HostileJava for the idea to use the Krylon Fusion. :bow: I checked Wal-mart, but they didn't have black for my stock dark blue sedan's bumpers & moldings, so I went to Sherwin-Williams. They only had 3 colors out of 16 in stock, black, white & something, even though they own the Krylon brand?!?!?! I got black. :)

I painted the chalky bumper strips the other day & they look 1000% better now. It's kind of funky paint that goes on a bit thick so be careful and spray lightly. I put on two light coats about 15 minutes apart.

Today, I painted the weathered & oddly mismatched side moldings. Looks fantastic! I did a double take walking back to my car in a parking lot today!

I am going to repaint the sad plastic window moldings next.

For those of you who remember, I gave up on the "black again" molding treatment. It seemed to suck the black right out of the bumper moldings. I'd rather repaint them than use that stuff again!

[HostileJava]

Good luck with the rest of the moulding. Post pics when your done. Or better yet, of your progress.

[dj99]

I wish I had a good digital camera for before and after pics. :crying:

You'll just have to trust me when I say it looks awesome! Just in time for our 15th anniversary tomorrow (me & 3g). :flash:
