Looks great. What filler did you use on the dents>?

Hawkze_2.3

Thanks, I tapped them out the best I could and then filled with Evercoat Rage. Then some 2K surfacer to fill the pores in the filler....

Work looks good. Color and grille are fail but you do nice work.

Thank you Thank you

Thank you sir, and sorry it's not Fiji Blue Pearl My wife likes it and its mainly her car so that's all that really matters to me.

nice job on this! it doesnt look like this was your first rodeo. lol. what made you decide on the color? also, what color code is that from? the wheels and a lowered suspension will really set this thing off. my mom has a crv the same color green!

Hawkze_2.3

Thanks! I have painted a few cars before, but this one has come out close to the best so far.

The color is Sandstone Beige from the Toyota FJ Cruiser, and we just kinda saw the color and thought it would be good since we both liked lighter colored CRVs...just one of those things, haha.



I can't wait to get the wheels painted and mounted

2008fijibluesi

Haaha...FBP would look awful on a CRV. I've just never been a fan of lighter colored CRVs (unless it is white), but all that matters is what you two like. Like I said, the body work, paint prep and execution all appear top notch.

Hawkze_2.3

Appreciate it I always like the white ones too....did they come in any other light colors besides white? I can't recall any....

2008fijibluesi

No...not that I can think of either. I've seen a couple of repainted ones in light colors, but I never really liked them.

Wow great job man, quite a project for the 'driveway'. Throw up some final pics once you get the rims on!

Hawkze_2.3

Thanks! Just got the sandblaster in yesterday, so once I pick up some media and blast the wheels I can paint them These black steelies look pretty bad and weigh a lot, so it will be nice to get rid of them.

Oh my what a great diy color change. Very well done.

tru350z

Wow, very nicely done!!! Good job man.

Nice job! The color combo looks great and it definitely unique on a CRV. What brand of paint did you shoot on it?

Hawkze_2.3

Thanks!

Thanks I used the OMNI line from PPG for everything.

love the diy, color is great I call it storm trooper white. There are a lot of the lighter color CR-V's out here in Okinawa, I could have hooked you up with the front fender mirror, brush guard bumper with fog lights and the spare tire delete door. CR-V's are a lot like Isuzu troopers out here on the inside and out.

Thanks redskull , I would have considered one of those spare tire delete doors...oh well, to late now. Have any pics of the brush guard bumper out of curiosity?

Would you be able to locate parts for an auto-manual conversion?

redskull1944

manual transmissions are really rare out here, I will keep a lookout for a brush guard to take a pic of but they are pretty common at the junkyards. anything in particular your looking for.

rosevb05

nice work.. thumbs up for you!

redskull1944

got your pic, they have PIAA fog lights

Hawkze_2.3

Actually doesn't look too bad!....what is the cost to get one of those out here to Texas?

love the color... but for some reason there is tooo much tan... needs a contrast imo, may be if the trim was black... and reflector were unpainted..? i dunno.... either way you do awesome work....

<StevieG>

looks good, im thinking of beginning a crv project aswell!!
