I got my current DB on a trade for my DC2 from another HT member more than a month ago. The car runs great, but the satin paint and bodywork needed some R&R. Satin, no shine, rough texture. Since this is my daily, and I already have a boosted DC2 that is my money pit, I didn't really have the budget for a full-on paint job. So decided to rework each panel rattle-can style. Here are pics of the redo.

Passenger side doors:






I have only spent about $30.00 for 12 cans of paint, rustoluem clear, and fiberglass, a sanding block, etc. I does take time and patience. Any comments would be welcomed.

Where the heck do you buy cheap paint?

that looks like about $100 of stuff, if not more

if just the paint itself cost $30, you would have paid $2.50/can???

 

Actually I paid .96 cents a can.

 

Any idea how those sidemarker holes were cut (previous owner did it I'm guessing)? The holes look really clean, if only they were farther forward in the correct spot.

 

Old owner or two did the side marker install. I would just find a Teg locally that has the markers and make a template from there. There might even be a download of the template somewhere here in HT or Team-Integra.

 

Damn, dude. That's a really fvcking good job for spray paint!

 

yeah damn, looks good

 

Thanks. I'm working on some rust on the driver's side doors, then imma shoot it tomorrow.

Give that paint a good buff job and it will be lookin sharp!

 

Clear still curing. Did you see the rest of the before pics? Will wet-sand and buff in a couple of days.

 

Updated pics of the driver's side doors buffed and my rejuevenated GT3's. I think it pops more than the slips.

 

Very nice turn around!
