I painted my accord... with a roller!!

Just like the title says. I used the $50 paint job method. I just finished the first coat.

in this pic you can see that it's going to take about four coats to get the old white covered up nicely:

I will update this thread throughout this week while I keep painting it.

Comments welcome

:thumbup:

hmm..... lets see how this compares to the spray can paint jobs.

hmm wow that looks pretty tight. lol

Assuming you're leaving it two-tone, its going to look really nice when your done. Are you gonna do any wet-sanding between coats?

yes two-tone.. ive always wanted this paint scheme since i had my very first car. I am going to wet sand every two coats. And once I'm done buff the living hell out of it!!

shaved antenna and windshield washer nozzle(sp?) things. sanded down everything with 150 grit, then went back over everything with 400 for a smoother look, then paint.

no windshield washers? i couldnt live without those things. when i first got my 3gee mine didnt work (the hose was cut) and it sucked ass because i couldnt clean my windshield. my wipers would just smear when i used them.

OT: Why are you bothering with that car though? I had a 92 EX and I absolutely HATED that car, even with less than half the miles that my 3G has. It was heavy, it handled like a barge, and working on the brakes was completely impossible.

Keep us updated though! The car looks cool, I just can't stand owning one.

damn, you probably need a lesson or ten if you can't work on the brakes :slap:

handles like crap?? dont think so.. this would run circles around my old 3rd gen any day.. and I really had a lot of shit done to my ol 3rd gen.. this thing is 100% stock :slap:

sigh, children..
