if you are doing 5 coats you dont have to hit it with 800, then 1000, then 1500 after every coat ............. just sand it with 1000 for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd coat because your just sanding it so the next coat can have some thing to stick to and with the 2nd last coat do the 800 to 1000 to 1500 so it will come out smooth

Civic_4life

its my aunt;'s house, its not done yet, it will look ugly as [freak] untill the final wet sand and buff, jsut wait till its done :D

Civic_4life

did more research and im mizing my paint WAYYY too thick , so ima sand it all down to like its not showing ANY orange peel and put LIGHT coat on it so hope teh result will be better than my original plan :D

H22Stew

Wow, black is a hard color to pull of, but my hat is off to ya man, it looks great so far! Can't wait to see the final product!

Civic_4life

thanks im gonna resand down the whole car til no peels and re coat it wit thinner paint, no wonder it is thick and orange peel more than a orange lol more update tomorrow

JDMDC2BOY12

its loooks fine to me until u get to that wet and buffing part then i will tel u if it look shitty or not... but more power to u man... keep it up!

matmcg

looks pretty even, I say you just rattle can in with the same paint , check out my thread 30 dollar paint job .... way faster and much glossier

goldex420

as a view from a painter it horrible mabe its good to you, but from a pro i would not advise painting a car this way at all.

taeng

goodluck!

I'd say your paint job is about as good as your english.

hondatunedbboy

Did we register on honda-tech to bash on someones grammar? Most of you who are talking trash probably will never have the *****/motivation to get off your *** and try this. Damn. Seems like anybody nowadays with a computer talks like they have ***** or something. Grow up.

As for the paint. Yes there is orange peel but like you said just sand it till none is visible and start rolling with thinner layers. The after picture of wetsand/buff looks 10x better. That's what experience is for! You gotta start somewhere. I will probably test out roll-on with my project hatch to see how that goes. =p keep up the good work.

oh yeah next time resize the pictures if you can lol
