Well, i have a couple paint chips here and there on my car but everything is pretty much the original paint. My bumper is really messed up though...I'm thinking about repainting it, but my friend said i shouldn't.

 

mine is all original.. even the paint on my jdm frontend.. but i have surface rust starting to form in the rear quarters where the fenders arch.. so a complete paint job isnt too far away.. although the rest of the car polished up really nice

 

antenna was removed and the rear quarter has thus been repainted.

going for a full respray + jdm front end as soon as I have the money

 

Mine is repainted since some idiot scratched it.

 

original and cherry..... but i work very hard to keep my car looking as good as it does. A big thanks goes to the previous owner all these years as well.

 

My paint is having a birthday soon. It'll be 10!!!

 

<----- original for now.

x2 but that should be changing this fall....

 

Its been waxed a coutnless number of times in its 26k mile life, I'd say it looks better then stock.

&lt;---Im going to look for a pic that shows off tis reflectiveness

 

Original paint going on 10 years, 100,000 miles. Front end has seen better days. So many chipped paint spots and pits. For a daily driver that is driven in every type of weather its in excellent shape. Looks flawless in pictures

x2 my car has seen a lot better days, but you can't tell from the pic

 

All original NBP. Some small dents and scratches on sides. Front bumper and lip have taken a pretty good beating though from AX cones etc. Number of areas with paint removed on bumper/lip in a vertical line on driver's side due to spinning car through a set of those white PVC tubes that sometimes divide a merge lane - was going a little 'fast' around the merge turn and lifted a little too abruptly. That was right after I got the car and had pretty much no idea that I couldn't do that ! I take great pride in the appearance and cleanliness of the car (inside and out) but for some strange reason I like having those battle scars on the front end... If/when I repaint, it will be NBP.

original but fresh paint on the jdm front

All original, other than the front, due to JDM conversion. I got the Conversion new from Honda of Japan, not used, so it had to be painted.
