well heres my progress. im only 16 with a horrible job and have to save up till i start uti nest year. so i dont have money for a "real" paint job. so i just started to rattle can it flat black.
scold me all ya want on my tape job its only 26 deg fahrenheit .. my tape keeps ripping sideways lol. i got laquor thinner. itll take it off my windows . i gotta turn on my heater one of these days so i can get it all taped up.

the 99cent paint im using lol.







home made side marker.. what do ya think. ? i dont like bodykits but i got a wings west one so its alright. the body is just too rough to go back to stock.



close up of paint



i still dont know about the spoiler.

 

not feeling the z3 fenders..or the side marker, and why the close up of a rattle can flat black paint?


rattle can flat black can be done good sometimes, i wanted to do flat black on my old 88T supra with rattle can and a fat graffiti tip to minimize tiger stripes.

 

im not felling the fenders either the car came with them and some civic fenders. i chose them, until i get some stock ones. and the sidemarker was for sh*ts n giggles.
but i did a close up cause everyone always asks for one. i wish i could fint one of the graffiti tips for it so it sprays in a line not a circle.

 

you can usually find them at skate shops ( the small ones) or graffiti shops. there are a lot if different tips, caligraphy (sp?) tips spray a flat line, and there are a bunch more that do different things. NY fats, skinnys, etc

 

good. i live in iowa. not alot of skate shops lol. i can prolly find some online. i might be able to use my civic fenders . they fit and all but i dont know if the side skirts will go with it because it molds to the stock crx kit.

 

do you need a flat tip or are you finished with your car

 

i used Duplicolor semi-gloss in a spray bomb, these pics are no wet sanding or clear coat.

 

that looks real good. what tip did you use so there is no stripes?

 

the duplicolor has a flat spray tip on it. the blue tip. applies very evenly

 

16, your not even old enough to go buy the paint your self. lol

ive used the circle tips and not made tiger strips. just overlap your spray patern. if you still get tiger strips then do a 2nd coat going at a diagonal angle. just a little tip my instructors told the guys who didnt know how to paint.

 

for some reason it looks like that integra paint job wont even last... was that from a can?

 

sorry for the slow progress its way to cold outside to work., but i am going to be starting a new thread on installing my gauges in my center council. and i tried walmart for spraypaint tips but nothing. ohh and i can show my bodykit install in this thread i think so ill post the progress of that. and i was wondering on what people thought of mx-3 wheels on a crx because i can pick up a set cheap.

I wanna start the rolled paint job, why not go that way man? I'm in your boat, cept I'm 17 and have no job. (I have 7 classes man, 3 of them are college classes, I'm just busy!)

I also heard that it isn't about the temperature and its more about the humidity. Since you're in IA and I'm just in MN, I assume your winters are as bad as ours. I always thought winters were dry but the last few days weatherbug has been saying 75-80% humidity.

 

oh damn, your goin to UTI? im goin to the exton, pa campus in august, which one are you goin to?

 

in gonna to be going to the one in Chicago Illinois . or glendale heights same thing. and i want to do the 50$ paintjob but heres a pic of my last car i spray bombed when i was 15
i know the fenders are the uglyest things youve ever seen i think the same way. but i paid 240$ for the car it was rusty and i fixed all that and it had one horrible fender and the guy said he bought another one for it and when i tried to fit it on the car i found out it was off an accord lol. so my buddy gave me these then i ended up swapping the motor out of the civic for another d15b nd traded the civic for an 86 laser turbo because the civic was about to blow. the kid ended up locking the keys in the civic like a week after i traded him and broke the back side window to get in and then painted it pink with a paint roller. ohh and the guy traded the ( ugly ) rims i paid 200$ for traded them for a set of 6x9 speakers. but it was his car i guess i will just watch who my old stuff goes to i hate watching older civics go to the yard.

 

How many miles did it have? I wish I could find a cheap car like that.

 

almost 300,000 but ran good it was only a 4spd lol ., and it had brown interior and i got bored one day and sprayed everything black ill post pics of that like before and after.

 

not bad i just picked up a car and started ti rattle can it gloss black
also using 99cents cans haha the brand name was just called *spray paint* from lowes.
