Not too shabby! Looks like a lot of hard work. Completely different car with the new paint.

Civic_4life

thanks not too much work, just IF U REALLY LIKE SANDING, do it but if not just spray it, many people get better result roll it, and its beeter if u dont have tool or garage like me, so this is best for my situation, im done wit painting now jst wet sand and buff,

i can tell u after ur get done u dont wanan see another sand paper for another 2 month

matmcg

2: buff with 3m polish, works wonder
3: buff with tutle wax: scratch and swirl remover

Civic_4life

b20inside, thanks man, ppl will let u down but it looks like **** untill teh last coat and final buff, thats the whole part of paint job, jsut last coat wet sand and buff is most important part, the finall coat on now looks GREAT without any peels now WOOT

Not bad really, for just DD I see nothing wrong with the paint. Its not perfect, but for a DD looks a hell of lot better than it did.

Now the brake caliper, BLUE!? I thought I was kinda ricey painting my rusty looking ones silver . I dont like the blue at all :-/ I'd repaint black or something.

Rims look aright, sounds like they were good for the price. I got Enkei 16s that are a different design but cheap and I like them, not too heavy, and well cheap and look good imho.

It almost looks in some of the pictures there are some spots in the cracks you missed in the paint? I hope their fixed, get some proper pictures of the final results!

Civic_4life

ya those caliper paint were on sale casue no one brought them, probably rice color but there were like 1.50 so otehr cans were like 10 bucks lol so i got them, if i dont like them later ill jut repaint it since i grind teh rust off, damn those thing took me like 20 minutes for a front calper, i shuojld of took it off and soak in rust remover but i was lazy, hehe

iam trade teh rims later tho cause i like 16's im not a big fan of ricer, lol and rims control funny on car, mabye i need a drop, which i will, its looks ugly as [freak] right now without a drop, im still waiting on a local guy give me a price on the susp combo he is willing to sell me

PhantoM.DA

Nice job man, it came out good for 50 bucks, seriously.

to you for doing it yourself.

Civic_4life

thanks, still need to wet sand and buff, anyone here know if they have clear in cans u can roll on too??? becuase when i set sand i get all teh black **** on there, i dont like that, its screwing up my bonnet

kelviiv

hahaha try washing it very good before you buff it

B20b4me

i see you painted your calipers blue on 4/20/08..... were you stoned when you picked the caliper color?

take pics in the daytime, you know, like when the sun is out?

Civic_4life

aha i knew it, well it was on sale the paint for 1.50 so i got it, i can alwayts repaint it diff color, just had those rusty *** ****, so i grind the rust off, spray them on, i can always change to red or black anytime, just now it is there, untill it wwill chip then ima take teh whole thing out and sand it more and waste more time of my life lol, hehe

Blzdeep
