**bobafett** · 03-14-2003, 03:41 PM

yeah i realized that after i posted that it was only wet under the tires..lol.

yeah i would wait longer than 2days to wash, you dont want to risk anything with that beautiful paintjob. now you need a set of clear bumper lenses!

**Swan** · 03-14-2003, 03:46 PM

shoot! its a-freakin'-mazing how far a simple paint job will go!!!!!I can't wait to get mine painted....yep....shaved moldings, inner tails, maybe the antenna....then its gonna be painted white!

**meohmy01** · 03-14-2003, 04:03 PM

i hope you don't mind me saying so but it appears to have paint all over the lights. didn't the dude take them out before painting. but other than that it looks really nice. once it's lowered it should look awsome. i would have gotton the mirrors painted thugh.

**MrBen** · 03-14-2003, 04:18 PM

I like how clean it looks but it would look better with YK86's paintjob. I love his color.

**meohmy01** · 03-14-2003, 05:12 PM

i love the color and the rubbed out show car type of finish (maybe just low gloss clear coat. but in either case)

**YK86** · 03-14-2003, 05:13 PM

That's a very nice paint job for $500! I don't see anything wrong with it (like overspray). Maybe the reflection just makes it look like it?? I'm sure if they guy took the time to get rid of all the dents, he would have prepped it properly as well.

**meohmy01** · 03-14-2003, 05:31 PM

it may just be my eyes. when i don't wear my glasses colors sort of blend together

**89HatchAzn** · 03-14-2003, 10:08 PM

What color is it??? Color Code??? It looks like a light silver with a tint of blue.

**Elijah** · 03-14-2003, 11:30 PM

Sweet I really like the color good deal.

**Mike89Accordcom** · 03-15-2003, 02:43 AM

Yeah night and day difference man. It was well worth it.

**Mike's89AccordLX** · 03-15-2003, 03:06 AM

Where did you pay $500 for it? I wanted to get mine painted this summer but it will have to wait b/c I'm going to the Ontario meet and will be spending lots of money doing that b/c of the long trip and such.

**johndej** · 03-15-2003, 06:10 AM

that looks sweet as hell man. seems like you got a great deal on all of it too me. only thing i could recomend would be it looks like it could use a drop.

**bradccool** · 03-15-2003, 10:55 AM

it is stratos blue.....stock color of car I forgot what the code is I will post it later

**Neuspeed007** · 03-16-2003, 08:37 PM

sick ride, lower that thing

**BDaccordguy** · 03-17-2003, 07:10 PM

i give props to your car man, looks great. I personally like the shaved emblems...my emblems are gone except for the honda sign on the hood, i also hav shaved moldings, but i like the way your moldings look all painted up....props again.

**bradccool** · 03-17-2003, 07:54 PM

thx everyone for you positive comments......I may be going back to that body shop and have him repain all the black stuff *weather strips on windows....and black arround the plate.....* he said he would do it all for like 100$ cuzz alot of masking is involved........he would paint em back black.....they are just faded

**87accordlxi** · 03-17-2003, 08:03 PM

good god damn, thats a nice paintjob. i like the color!

**danronian** · 03-17-2003, 09:14 PM

IMO after it's lowered it will look sweet. All this talk of cheap paint jobs makes me want to get out the dual action sander and go at my accord and get a $200 black paintjob. Maybe when I get bored during my summer off of school I will, but until then I'm still resting from prepping the malibu last august. Also to make the car look cleaner I think you should paint the tails red and possibly tint the front and rear lights to match eachother, I saw someone on this board who did that and I think it makes the car look so much more whole.

**jamenjay** · 03-17-2003, 09:29 PM

sweet man i love white rims soooo much but u should got to the scrap yard and get some 88-89 cornors they look so much better not as good as jdm but better then those
