Should have left it alone.
Should have left it alone.
Is that bondo between the tail lights to make it look flat like that?
.
i didnt have enuogh filler to complete the bootlid so its rough as guts
I see that you did a lot of work. If thats the color u wanted, i would have sent you some Aluminum foil. LOL Definitely not feeling the trunk my man. not digging the color either, but once the clear coat goes on, it might look different.
it wasnt a lot of work i should have put more time into it and removed the dents and smoothed out the bootlid...........the story behind the paint....well i found a random drum it has a little bit in the bottom and was silver i was like hahaha my mate told me it was zinc paint which is fully metallic sorta like chrome i was like haha im gunna paint my car with this.....yeah it was a free paint job...just took me 3 or 4 hours to paint the car by myself
lmao
lmao notihng beats a free paint job!Originally Posted by wohdog
Fuck yeah free paint ftw
I hate painting dents personally
That silver is refreshing, it reminds me of the early preludes, so you dont really see many straight up silver 3gen Accords. I like the color if it was clearcoated.
Hope you saved some paint to use as basecoat for the unfinished bodywork.
first fix dents, apply primer , then paint it will save you money that way, and make shure u use decent lightnig with silvers like that , you will end up with less "lines" general rule with silvers with spray guns , higher pressures give lighter silvers and lower pressures give darker , and also clear coat will make the paint looks the same if not then mabye a hair darker with silver

im not rich like you americans otherwise i woulda done it properly
it looks nice. different, but nice. i think those rims make it look a little off. but then again, i can't think of many rims that'd go w/ the pj. and i'll jump on the "it looked better the other way" bandwagon right now. at least the pic in your sig and avatar, the paint looks stellar. but if it was past it's prime like mine is and the job is free, then yeah, nothing beats free paint.
im poor as anything and i make due

ha just cause were american doesn't mean we have money shit lol i barely squeak by with my high speed internet and 3 cars and hd tv ok so i make some money so what
Mmm. Car looks horrendous. Looked way better before.
Sorry for my honesty but theres no point in saying sweet nothings in my opinion.
Clear coat will do nothing for it but make all the defects stand out more and anyway, you should of laquered it whilst it was still masked up.
My advice... prep it back, fix the dents (if the repairs are gonna be 100% & if not just leave them) then MATT BLACK IT & go for a RAT LOOK!
Will look way better. Photoshop it if you don't believe me.
look at my messy dx
no money maing for a paint job..but at least i know i took out all the dents out.
