EF Hatch Gets a Paint Job at Home. What do you think?
Well I called over my friend who does body work, and asked him to paint the car for me at my house. And this is what we did. Took about three days to do a little body work and to paint the car. My friend did most of the work. I just helped out, but i am not painter, so i did what i could 
Sorry for low quality pictures. All were taken with my cell phone.

I don't mean to rip your paint job but there is NO way you can tell a good paint job from pics, much less cell phone pics. My car looks great in pics but I don't think my paint is very good.

Yep. Let's see better pics before we make our judgement.

looks pretty cool. Me and a few guys from my work are about to do some home made paint jobs on our "beaters" so with luck it will come out as well. My only suggestion would have been to spend a little more time on the body work (the dented moulding and door dings etc) Even though im going to do a cheap paintjob, i still would like it to be as ding free as possible. looks good overall though.
