help needed
okay i got a long story to tell. pls be patient with me. i really need some advice.
i have a 95 green honda civic ex coupe. well its not teal anymore but ill get to that. last sunday not this past sunday but last week sunday. i wanted to turn my daily car into a project car. so me and my cousin started working at it early in the morning. we took out the AC and power steering for less weight. then we put DC struts top and bottom front and back. then we dropped it all the way down with skunk2 coilovers wit camber kits on some 16" 5 spoke rims that my brother left me(no brand) then we added a huge exaust on the end (again no name brand) we added a cf front and back lip and a cf hood. and put in a black grill mesh for the stock bumper.
but here comes the other story.
we wanted to take off all the paint. so we got an electric sander and sanded the whole car down, this was before adding the lips and cf hood. we sanded it down till it was a rough white and light teal. but not the engine bay or trunk. we'll do that wen i start using bondo to mold the sides, antenna, badge holes and middle tails and license. so we went to AUTOZONE and bought some black primer paint. after going back to my uncles garage and taping all the windows and lights we started painting on some coats. it turned out pretty good. but the thing is i keep thinking we did it wrong. after a few days i went back to AUTOZONE to start gathering up more ideas. i was thinking if we did it right. i was wondering if we did. so thats why im asking u fellow civic brother and sisters of mine to help a youngster out. did i do it right or wat? i put 2 coats of primer all ready and ima put one to two more later but i need ur guys advice...
and for those who are wonderin wat i got into the project so far. read this
