Well I'm at it again, This time on a much tighter budget, but it has made me more creative I guess. Stick with me I'm building a car that is probably more realistic as far as many of us could afford. No show stopper or blinged out trailer queen. Just a daily driven, 275k miles love affair with this old EX model Civic.

Exterior Plans:
OEM Mudflaps
OEM Rain gaurds
Lower It More
HOA Fender Badges
Smoked Stanley Sidemarkers
Finish painting car
Tow Hook?
Repair VIS Carbon Fiber hood


2 years ago she look like this.







Fast forward to the start of the rebuild. The car was parted out to pay bills and buy a motorcycle so this is round 2

the BBS I had for a short time 15x7 BBS RZ's et +20...






And then refurbed them to the above condition..

Etcc Im a smart shopper and I live on Craigslist

Heres the bumper done outside of respraying the grill black

and with the lip on


I have done no buffing or anything that is the finish out of the can

 

got the bumper and the hood back on. I get more excited every time i finish a panel. I would do this all at once but this is my only car and I commute to college 5 days a week so its gotta be road worthy by 9am daily... these pictures dont do any justice. Sun was setting and the battery was dying on the camera.. enjoy

PS Over spray on hood weather stripping was removed and the grill will be painted when I can get some Flat black from the hardware store thats only open like 5 Hours a week apparently

 

there was also alot of condensation on it cause It was in my house all day then went outside and dropped about 20 degrees

 

I dont have a compressor or a gun at my apartment. For the money I would spend on either of those, I would just spray paint it. thanks for the advice but Ive got alot more expirience with rattle can than most graffity artists so Im sure ill be alright

 

What are your rattle can tips/procedures so you don't get patches or tiger stripes?

 

looks awesome. money well spent

 

my tips are patience, patience, and patience, dont be a moron, wet to wet and just focus. thats about all I can say.. ive messed up enough things with spray paint that ive learned the way to do it right

 

looks good. i wish my apartment had a lil garage. i need a new paint job on my eg8. keep up the good work.

 

subcribed

also that is a ****en steal on the yakima rack, im lookin for one and they go for like tripple that

sell it to me for a 100 lol

 

subscribed cause that rusto you are doing looks great.

 

thanks guys, Im tyring here ha I do what I can with what Ive got and I like to think Ive got some expirience. I started painting Goped frames around 12 yrs old and its just gone up since then, EF, I watch your whole build so Im sure you love rustoleum as much as I

 

look nice. spray paint job have to get done right to be great and it look like you do it right

Excellent.

 

thanks man

 

im in for more!

 

damn how the hell can you lay down some rattle can that shiny? im in for this!

 

looks good for what it is i like it

 

Im just good, i have a few touch ups to make on the hood just on the edges that didnt get coverage, you cant tell but I can see teal when im in the drives seat ha. Im loving all the hype cause its more motivation to get it done and done well

 

might scuff the fenders after this class, wont be home until like 8:30 tho

 

Heres a few better pictures of the quality, this is a cell phone camera.
Those are not imperfections, they are clouds


that is not a shadow, it is a reflection

 

Hey nice rattle can job looks pretty clean for a rattle can does it look that clean in person? Cause I know for a fact my eg looks amazingly clean in pics but in person it is not as clean.

 

looks legit for a rattle can job

 

thanks guys, It looks just as good in person, a few minor imperfections as i mentioned, but it was painted in my shed, during a rain storm, and I didnt sweep the shop so some dirt made its way on, i will clay bar when it drys entirely
