I have this EF, its 15 years old (its a 91). Paint is THAT bad but its the original paint and I don't think it has any clear coat left. But its not delaminating or rusting yet.

Anyways, I got this JDM front end that black, I want to paint it white to match the rest of the car. Only problem is every time I see someone do that it always looks funny because the front end is to shiny compared to the rest of the car or whatever.

What would be the best thing to do without painting the whole car. Less clear coat or something? Someone said don't go with the stock color because most likely the stock color is the same after 15 years of sun exposure.

Anyone have any tips?

 

Umm... that would be pretty pointless, just paint teh whole thing. why do you not want to paint the whole car? its not that expensive to get a macco paint job...

Im putting money into the motor, I just wanted it to look decent for now.

 

wetsand it with 1500 and dont polish it . In addition, buff and polish the old paint so you can get it shiny as possible. You will have something that will probably look similar all around.

 

have a paint shop color match paint for you and it will look close, but yeah i dont think buying the original color is a good idea
