finally finished new paint job

well yesterday I finally painted the civic that I've been working on for the past 3 months. The color is vogue silver metallic, which is a stock civic color. I'm really pleased with how everything turned out. This was my first complete paint job. I've done spot repairs and painted fenders and hoods before, but never a complete car. The bumpers were taken off and painted seperately. Well, enough talking... here are the pics. I'll post up more when I get it all put back together.

I'll post up new pics tomorrow night. I'm going down to the shop tomorrow and getting it all put back together. Everything should be back on the car tomorrow except for the window mouldings, which should be here on wednesday.

Re: (skeelo)

the car was previously silver, and it is much easier to repaint a car the same color, because then door jambs, under the hood, etc.. dont have to be painted. I actually like the color anyways, so it worked out good.
