Your car looks fabulous. Thanks for posting the pics.

looking good as always :thumbup:

that really looks good, super good

That thing is beautiful! Totally inspiration for my car.

Truly a beautiful car and an inspiration for all of us. CAM made a good choice.

Is the paint on your car metallic? Did you use a clearcoat on top? Where did you get the paint? What type of sprayer did you use? Was this your first experience painting a car?

hatch is looking hot

Thank you all for the love much appreciated:) im very happy i attended the first C.A.M meet wish i had seen more 3geez there hope next year we represent more;)

Its a pearl paint and yes i used clearcoat, paint was bought locally, and i used a simple cheap harbor freight gun. Yes it was my very first experience painting a car and using a real spray gun...pearl is very hard to spray especially for a beginner the doors have certain spots where the pearl was distorted because the gun was acting up a bit...its only noticeable at a certain angle in the sunlight...also a few clearcoat runs but overall i was really proud of myself how it turned out:)

do you still have your custom front bumper around?>

When this vintage of Accord looks that good they really don't look out of place in the modern world at all.

Still looks gorgeous man.

Congratulations on the feature!!

As a former ASE painter, yah pearls are a BITCH to get right for a novice. If anyone wants to learn how to paint start off with metallics first. Pearls only look right if you got the material needle jetted just right, you need consistent air pressure any drop in pressure could make the pearl not atomize correctly. Not bad for a harbor gun, i personally use my SATA NR2000 for basecoat / clear coat with a 1.4MM needle and cap. Overall it looks like you did a good job for the experience you have.

Hey old school,It says your car is lowered 1.5 inches but that looks lower than that.

Your rude is getting so much buzz right I just seen it on tumblr and instagram. I think your on on the way to get ur ride in a mag soon.

Thank you:) yeah i should've started with metalic, if u look very close u can see where the pearl was distorted from either too much pressure or too little. i plan to fix it in the future because im very anal and it bugs me to see things like that lol. I really wanted to go with a good gun like the SATA but i just went by what i could afford at the time.

Well i hate to say it but ive been ridding on slightly cut eibach sportline springs to lower it to how i wanted it, and also cut pitchfork up front. But just recently im riding on sprint springs, the back is ok now but the front i wanna go like half inch lower:)

I usually don't like the hatches very much, but I love yours man. So sick and a great color choice too. My only question is, what front lip do you have? It is perfect, and is the one I want. Thanks man!
