awesome prep job. I'd love to see it finished

 

looking good so far i dig that color..can't wait to see more progress and then the finished product

 

yea that is a nice *** color.

 

Looks great . must be nice working at a paint shop.

 

where and what brand is the paint from? and did you use an oem number from a 91 si? or did they use it from a 92-95 civic?

 

yeah my goal is try to make the car close to stock looking but some $$ into the motor and suspension

 

it an oem color and it from 91-93 on the label

Thaitian Green Pearl

 

wow thats lovly never seen a car in that color brand new to you and that paint

 

yeah i guess that how it looks when it was brand new from the company back in 1991

 

i'm jealous

 

Looking good, but why did you mask off the door seals? It's really easy to just take them off (without destroying them) and your paint job will be better because of it. Just a suggestion

 

i dont know if i should paint the moldings and the grille black after it all painted .....what u guys think ? show me an thaitian green ef hatchback with black moldings and stuff ...thanks agian for those postive comments

 

well really i was planning on to get new door seals later on anyway, they're kinda worn a lil so no worries for them

 

Looking very good!!!!

 

Did someone let you borrow a paint booth or something?

 

Looks good. I'd leave the grille and mouldings black though.

 

No, i am doing the paint job at the class i am taking for 2 years

 

you think it'll peel off the paint if i wanna tape up to paint the molding black and the grille like a week later ?

 

My old hatch...wasent bad for stock paint.

 

No it'll be fine, thats how I did my bumpers. Just use quality tape, dont leave it on for more than a couple days and take care when removing it.

 

ahh u should of removed all those rubber seals on the door, nice job though. single stage paint???

 

at least i am not the only one wasting time on repaints on the old cars.






the car had 400,000 miles on it so it was a mess. and yeah yeah all the JDM guys no hate on the body kit i did what i did at the time.

 

That is a very nice deal to be able to do it your self. You save some $$ and can do an even better job since youve got the experience. that stock color is HOT like FIRE.

 

lovin it
