I agree with sintype.. I have spray painted quite a few cars of mine lol... but if you are wanting to spray paint it white, I would do it flat white cause it's hard to get the gloss to spray right.

Dear god, please do not spray paint your car. It will look like ****.

I have enough auto body experience to know what I'm talking about.

the flats don't look too bad lol.. but the glossy it def. does look like ****.

Well actually, why would you want to paint the beige??? I would leave it that color until you were actually going to get it painted.. I think you said u were this summer. I would go on everybody here and wouldn't do it though lol. I mean even though I said that about the flat white, I still wouldn't... I actually kinda regretted mine after spraying it..

Do you have a '99-'00 Civic sedan? If so it might be Titanium Metallic. It's not often you see it modified, but when it is it can look sooo good.

I'd have to agree that spray painting the car shouldn't be done unless the current paint it in unbelievably bad condition.
