Bringing this 96 Civic Back to Life, W/ a TwIsT
So I was building a Crx when A Previous owner from a year back Finally Convinced me to trade it to him...
In Turn, I Ended Up with This 96 Civic Coupe w/ a 99-00 Front end...
dirty As HELL! Rttle Can Primer, then Rattle Can Satin Blue... All Sprayed by the Kid i got it From.
I Swapped my Rims on it the Day i Got It, Cleaned all the garbage out of it and started Tearing into the Body Work for a little Paint... of my Own Style.
this is the blue it was rattle canned before me, but on my rims.
the Original Color
This is the Point we are at currently.
I Ordered a couple parts and some paint...
Now mind you, This is My Style, some May Like it Some May Not. Im Kinda on a Satin Kick Right Now. I'm Going Back Close to the Stock Green Color, BUT It is Gonna Be a SATIN Green Pearl. Like it Or Not, My Choice, My Car.
Hot Rod Flatz Rally Green Pearl
Here is my Last Satin "Project"

2nd Coat of Primer
Found a couple spots needing attention, Gonna Blocksand, Finish, Shoot a little more primer on the touch up areas and we should be ready for paint.... Should... Still Gotta Get a new grill.
