    Re: (Repainted)

    I like that, looks slick.

    only thing I would have done different is make the stripes a little wider, nice job on the white out

    Looks good! Even got the door jams too. I think blue flakes along with the white paint would really set if off

    Re: (Repainted)

    yeah guy did good job it scared the crap out of me though when he was taking paper of stripes so he could clear the car the paper reacted with paint and the stripes were peeling with paper.So he had to reverse tape off car and redo stripes.Got a lil trash in clear coat because of this but he said it will buff out in about a month.I decided to keep stripes because there are so many accords around in my town.And they are all the same I wanted mine to stand out.

    Re: (Repainted)

    You, my friend, have good taste. I was trying to imagine my car with white paint and blue stripes just a few weeks ago. I'll probably paint mine in the next year. I'm still not sure what looks best on a 3g but its definitely good to see this though. Looks great. How much $ do you have in the paint job?

    Re: (Repainted)

    i put 120 square feet of hardwood flooring in a trailer then sanded and finished the whole floor it was about 300 square foot altogther.I figure ive got about 200.00 in it by the time I pay my help and pay for materials thats not counting my time.But if I had been putting in the floor for some1 else it would have costed them about 650.00. I think i got a pretty good deal (lol).I actually believe im going to have wheels powder coated black.
