Rattle can paint job approved.

Here's why this is a horrible idea. You know how hard it is to find a nice, clean CRX? Nearly impossible. I'm sure when there were many clean CRX's around people would just rattle can them too. Eventually, even a clean and unmolested EG hatchback will be hard to find. Moral of the story: stop molesting and destroying the value of otherwise decent automobiles, it's bad for everyone. If you really want to, then go ahead and keep ****ing up cars. It makes the near-virgin CRX in my garage worth more every day. I'm all for someone modifying their car to their own taste, as long as its quality.

It's also pathetic what is considered "clean" these days.

so anyone planing on modifying there car in anyway must check with you first please dude your opinion sounds more of a demand. your so worried about what someone else did to there car like if you owned it. all your hatred is doing is motivating more people to go against the grain. the value of a car is shown in the sweat and tears.

HAHA, being rare doesnt always mean valuable! Keep your virgin crx, good for you, but the "value" of it will only hold up according to a VERY limited market. Crash it, do an insurance claim, and you'll get the same amount of money as someone with a "****ed up car".

Dont hold yourself so high because you have a 20 or so year old car. They, in no way, have as high of value as some people on HT claim they do.

EDIT: About finding an "unmolested" civic...thats just absurd, if you're talking strictly about engine swaps, then yea, good luck finding something with the stock motor straight from the factory.

Most people that drive civic are the high school kids, and slightly older, most having their mommy and daddy's dime. No one in this demo wants a ~100hp civic, so of course, a swap comes along. Your arguement can be translated over to cars manufactured in the 60s and 70s also. People with muscle cars never left them "unmolested", all the younger people with the cars would put in 4barrel carbs or higher ratio differentials.

So, your arguement is just stupid, this will happen with any generation. Just so happens, that hondas are the easiest to get ahold of, easiest to work on, so of course people will "molest" them.

The value of a car is whatever someone will pay for it. I wouldn't even consider buying a rattle-canned car, therefore it's worthless.

Your argument is that it's acceptable to destroy a vehicle is "just stupid". If you were a real Honda enthusiast then you would understand that it's good to have as many clean examples of the brand on the road as possible. Doing what you have done to what looks like several cars, gives the entire community a bad name. Its people like you and cars like the one you have that make it nearly impossible for even the most elite Honda fan to be taken seriously. Congratulations for making us all look bad.

FYI, my car isn't perfect and it doesn't have a great paint job on it (or even a hood at the moment). At least what has been done has been done correctly.

For the most ignorant statement on HT this year...so far.

I never said i consider myself a "honda enthusiast". I like hondas because mainly, i can afford them and i like the body styles.

The "honda scene" has been tarnished once the "jdm" websites came around. Not the swap websites, but all the jdm replica part websites and just the whole facination on a specific domestic market is weird IMO.

Honda's are some of the cheapest import cars around, the late 80s, early-late 90s are NOT as high up on a pedestal as you claim them to be.

Oh, and i totally agree with you that i destroyed my cars by painting over a crappy paint job..../sarcasm.

Get your head out of your ***, or go be a nissan fanboy, your thoughts seem to be coming from that frame of mind.

Finally, I made it into a signature! Sweet!

The cost of a vehicle has nearly nothing to do with how it should look. An inexpensive car can at least look decent. You did destroy your car. You made a bad situation worse.

I'm sorry you think that my expectations of quality are only suited for Nissans.

P.S. I do agree with you JDM sentiment though

In your opinion.

Rattle Can Paint Jobs JDM Style - "Hey is your clear coat fading?" ... "Nah, i got a professional rattle can job, looks good doesnt it?"

4g4dcruisin

Agree to disagree then, this is getting no where. You trying to bash in your opinion is kind of falling on deaf ears. I've stated that i wasnt exactly happy with the way it turned out.

I WANTED to use a HVLP gun on this, BUT, i got anxious and rattle'd it. i do not plan on leaving the car like this, once i get a decent gun, i'm gonna go at it again single stage and see how that comes out.

I guess this guy didn't see the other thread of 18 PAGES of rattle can jobs. If not, here's the link.. just so you can see some bangin paint jobs WITHOUT a gun.

But props to everyone that rattle can's their car. IDK why, but honda's are totally made for it.

4g4dcruisin - The car came out pretty f**king ballin if you ask me. I love it.. mad kudos and eff the haters man <33

4g4dcruisin

Thanks, but the only time i'll use a rattle can from now on, is if the color is flat or satin, like my ef sedan was. I wont every try to get a glossy finish by something that is sold at wal-mart in a spray can.

Chelsea_Rose

This kid is a total Deuche. Not for nothing brosiff, but you are DEFF talking Blue book value. And no one goes by that garbage anymore. And I'm pretty sure he's not planning on selling this car til it blows. And probably then he'll just get a new motor for dirt cheap. That's the magic of "molesting" your honda. IT'S CHEAPER TO FIX AFTERMARKET THEN OEM DUMBASS!!

This tool bag just needs to get laid, and shut his mouth, cuz all he wants to do is hear people bitch him out. It's one thing to voice your opinion bro, but it's another to flat out disrespect someone let alone their ride.

Sometimes value to a person buying the product isn't the same as the value to the owner. Ever hear of "One man's trash is another man's treasure?" That's how I got a custom lip on my civic. So, let's keep it real. But anyway, for instance, if I had a pocket watch stolen from my house that was my grandfather's (who was also my best friend and has been dead for almost ten years) and I had insurance on it. They say it's worth $5,000. But my personal value says more. It isn't just a watch to me. It's a symbol of my family history. Something that meant more than just telling the time.

It's the same thing when it comes to your car. It's the countless hours and memories you had with friends and family building it, painting it, ripping out motors and throwing tools when sh*t pissed you off. So, I hope THIS idiot has learned a little something about value.

Boom baby

One love

haha I was gonna say I deff saw the other car you posted on here on the other thread. I painted my boyfriends car Satin. It's on like page 17, along with me bitching out some kid.

Can't stand when people run their flapper. I'm a chick. I don't take smack talking lightly =]

I def wrote back to that D-bag runnin his mouth to you too. Make sure you read it. It's a good time ahah But the green def came out awesome

Honestly tho, this is probably the last time i do rattle can. The amount of time i take to mask the car alone, warrants a better method of paint. My original color was going to be a satin maroon/burgundy, but my girlfriend talked me into goin glossy green. so here we are haha.

So rattle can is rice? I plan on painting my track eg camo print with rattle can, its very ricy let me tell you...

never considered rattle can "rice", i consider it to be ghetto as ***, if you can afford a 200 dollar single stage automotive grade paint job, maybe you should consider another hobby is the way i always looked at it. Theres standards of quality, and then theres the JDM paint job. And in case your saying to yourself "man these cars look great in the pictures with the rattle can jobs" yes, they look great from 30 feet away in these pics with a rediculous amount of wax on them. You look at it up close and its pretty obvious its spray paint, and a year from now it looks like you have faded clear coat.

4g4dcruisin

First point, your a *****, excuse me for having a life that requires me to spend "x" amount of dollars on important things, not to make my car more cosmetically appealing.

Second Point, YOUR standards of quality are different than other peoples.

Third Point, how can you possibly say that spraypainting a car is JDM? what does that even mean? Do you know what JDM stands for? How could spray paiting be related to a domestic market from another country?

What you should have said, and you couldnt prove it anyway, is that "japanese kids paint their hondas with spraypaint."

1) your trying to make your car cosmetically appealing by using 100 dollars worth of rattle cans

2) my standards of quality are that of someone who understands the work invested in doing a good paint job

3) the "JDM paint job" fad here in the US is exactly what is defined in this thread, buying ridiculous amounts of rustoleum at your local home depot, a box of paint rollers, and then making a huge thread on some honda forum discussing how awesome it looks.

4g4dcruisin

STOP right there...

I spent like $30 on KRYLON paint, no enamel here.

I didnt do the "roll on" paint job.

Im still not seeing the relation between rusto paint and the japanese district market....maybe i'm thinking a bit too rational here, but JDM is not a "mindset" or "attitude", like soooo many people here believe it to be. Its a goddamn market just like the USDM is!

Im going to get a sticker that says "usdm as fvck" and see if i can start a fad.
