my paint job that i did by myself. i paid about... 300$ overall for primer/bondo/sandpaper/paint/paint activator. shaved trunk where the "H" goes. shaved and relocated license plate. and yea. championship white finish tell me what u think.

getting ready to tape/mask off windows and everything i dont want white.

lip kit wiped down

little civic in big booth lol...

finished 3 coats of champ white and 3 coats of clear coat

shiny much?

i thought i was getting "fish eye" on my lip cause it looked like the paint didnt stick to it haha..

finished product
before it was white. it was factory red. didnt really like it haha.. u can see the bondo from me fixing a dent in my fender. shaving the moldings on the doors was the most difficult thing to do on this car. to weld pieces to fit each and every hole on both side... leme know what u guys think about my car

Came out good, looks like tafetta white more than CW tho... Maybe its just the camera or something... I painted my last hatch ITR CW and it had more of a pearly gloss look to it... Repost some pics after u wetsand, maybe thats what it is cuz after i wetsanded the color really started standin out... Good job tho for a DIY...
