Hi everyone, always on here but never really post. Just sold my civic and picked this integra up. Thought I'd like to share it with you since it's my first integra and first time painting. Got it off a h-t member, was in okay condition but had some oxidation so I decided to shine it up. By no means am I a professional painter but I think it came out pretty good.



Here it is just scuffed up a little bit.

Decided to shave the emblems.

Of course my radiator had to bust on me going just to and from work.

Pretty stripped down.

Primed.

Wet sanding is very messy.

Sealed.

Hung out to dry.jk, then painted.

Then it was kicked aside cause I was too busy to touch it.

Finally put together.(couldn't wait any longer, had to put the wheels on first)

Finally done!!

Of course it didn't go that quick but you get the idea. Here are a few more pictures.


sleepin in the shop.



Thanks for looking

 

man great come out .... definatly clean.... by the way what wheels... loving the gold wit the lip

damn, good job. I think painting the grill black would look better. Real clean though, props.

I used an advantage 1.4 nozzle spray gun, an exact copy of this really expensive $500.00 gun. valspar paint and clear.

You know what, thats what I originally went for, but I was too lazy to mask off the grill or didn't know of a better method of doing it. I really wanted to give it that open effect by leaving it black, but oh well.

Awesome job!

I've always wanted to try my hand at painting/simple autobody work, but I was too scared to try. Looks like you did a great job. Is that your own shop? I'm sure it makes things a lot easier.

 

Thanks for the compliments everyone, I'm glad it came out okay, lots of runs on the clear but nothing cutting and polishing couldn't take care of.

The paint is actually (cringe) GM Fleet white. I chose this color because it'd be alot easier to match later on if I needed to.

Yes, this is actually my shop, my partner and I got it rollin about a year ago, just really trying to settle down actually. Not a body shop though.(I know it looks dirty right now but we've been swamped.)

Now, just decided on what to do with the motor.

and again the wheels are supermesh racing 16x7 on 205/45/16
