what do you guys think of the almond cream color on some hatches and coupes

 

It's ugly and looks like a refrigerator.

 

ok so i also hate that color it is the ugliest color i have seen so i decided i would repaint the car with spray paint
it is a 89 hatch that i picked up for $200 i put a starter in and it runs like a champ but here is what i did to it


weapons of choice



2 days later it is done


let me know what you think

 

Did you paint a whole car with spray cans?

That's actually kind of funny because in my younger days, i tried to paint my 85 Civic with a spray can but about half way through, i got into an accident. LOL!

 

That's pretty badass for spray cans, to be honest.

 

yeah the whole thing i was able to put it down for two days cause i had my other civic to drive

 

you should of seen the look on the guys face at walmart when we came up to the register with about 30 cans of spray paint he was like i need to see id's from everyone it was great

HA HA. That is funny. I thought i was only THAT ghetto. How many cans did you use? I only finished my front fenders and my hood before i got into my accident and i think used up at least 10 or more.

 

i'm not sure on how many i want to say anywhere between 30 and 45 i spent $110 total on the paint

 

LOL. The funny thing is that i didn't even use that extra part that you attached to the spray can that you guys used. Don't know what you call those. I did it with just the can. So i am more ghetto. Woo hoo.

 

LOL. Blue paint around the tires and you guys butchered the corner lenses. They are blue.

 

Hmmm.....

From the picks it looks ok....but the ricerific civic next to it needs to be crushed.

 

that "ricerific" civic next to it is mine also it currently does not have a motor in it because i am building it for lots of boost but thanks for saying it should be crushed to each thier own i suppose and i know i will get flamed for this post so go for it

 

I want to buy a tan EF hatch one day to make a sleeper if the paint is in OK shape.

 

It looks great in pics. I know that you know it's just a spray can job, but I'm terrified to see what it looks like in person.

Don't listen to me, though. Good job.

BUT, I wouldn't have painted the black trim moulding, and bumpers. You should have left those bad boys black.

 

I'm nothing more then a screen name to you, what does it matter what I think?

Max, I think you should put a big *** aluminum ironing board on the back of your hatch, and a HUGE *** honda decal on the sides.

That's what all the cool kids are doing because that makes you fast, y0. Don't forget a giant yellow stripe somewhere and dual-blade wipers.

And WTF did you paint the mudflaps for?

 

Hey, that looks almost exactly like the color I used on my hatchback project. $50 paint job with Rustoleum and foam rollers, hehe. Not a fan of the painted trim/moldings though, sorry.

 

this is just a beater car i really don't care about it i just sprayed everything lol

 

I sprayed my car with a paint gun and it cost me $75... This looks decent in pictures but most likely crap in person.. Sorry just being honest

 

yeah it doesn't look as good in person but it came out alot better then i thought it would i think there is like to runs on the entire car

 

Where is the tech in this thread?

The mudflap looks like **** and will crack all of the paint after a period of driving down the road in the wind.

 

well it has been done for alittle over 2 months of driving and has seen everything snow hail rain 100+ mph and have yet to see on chip in the paint
