Looking great, glad to see your hard work pay off at the end.

End? Got a lot more to do yet this was a big step forward though, thanks

Friggen paint and materials r expensive

Oh I know the feeling with paint supplies being expensive I'm totally broke right now since I've got my car painted and at least I've save about 3x as much with labor.

Nice work with the paint tho I was wondering if you're going to leave it matte finish or glossy but yeah (Y)

Also its not a good idea to let the base coat to fully dry before laying the clear layer on because you had to sand the base after its flashed off and sanding any metallic or pearl coat is a no-no since you're going to mess with the flakes. But then I don't even remember if yours metallic/pearl?

That's true, there is a risk but hopefully this will be ok, i did several cross and fan to get it to lay out the sparkly i can always add something to the clear if i sand through too splotchy. Thanks for the comments! ( can't get the clear kit yet $)
I wanted it to be matte but the orange peel is kinda bad some spots, we'll see.

[redneck]

[Civic Accord Honda]

WOW! shes come a longggg way! looks fantastic . love the colour choice too

[charliekuney]

I like the matte super blue. Paint the mirrors and b-pillars!

[redneck]

i would do the moldings and the bumper trim black, leave the b piller black, hood and sei spoiler black. but thats just my 2 cents it still looks good, you can come help me paint my coupe hahahah

[2oodoor]

Shape of things to come....peek



Spoiler removed, nice patina deck lid ehh, I kinda like it bare but Im still thinking about the rear of the car and two tone paint scheme, lines, window tint etc..

[2oodoor]

[2oodoor]

So much detailing needed yet, inside and out... this project will last for years no doubt. Rubbing compound all in the cracks, just general crack issues...lol



I have more pics but photobucksit is being mean... maybe later

[2oodoor]
