Default New paint job Electron blue pearl and new mf10 with spoon brakes. New pics on pg 2

I have a 98 integra gsr with the factory super sonic blue pearl paint job. At first I liked it but like many ssbp owners I started to hate it because it looked too purple and not blue. Well I decided to get my car painted, so I took it to Roland and Sons in Ontario, California. I have posted below pictures of the car before and durning the paint job. as soon as I get the car back I will post pics of it completed. Based on the work that they have done for me I would recommend this shop to anyone that is in so cal.

What do you guys think. let me know if you like it or hate it, it wont hurt my feelings lol












and the new color 98-00 civic si Electron blue pearl. I also got the side moldings, emblems, rear squirter shaved for a cleaner look.











I starting doing my 5 lug conversion. The paint came out really good.















my brake setup on the rear. as soon as I get my front hubs pressed in I will post pics of my spoon brakes.


test fiting my favorite wheels


tell me what you think of my car so far

my old ITR I used to have.






got my spoons on

the difference is negligible and will only be noticed to the trained eye, no offense. work looks quality. if you're happy with it, that's all that matters. ;]

yeah i do like it plus its not that purple anymore. The wing, sides and front lip are painted as well. the color deference is slight but it looks better in person. Also the rotas are going off and i am doing a five lug with mf10s

dc2 dude if you ever see the ssbp in person it is purple not blue.

The SSBP is one of the best colors ever offered on the GSR, behind the DVP, which is my all time favorite. IMO, you made a big mistake, and just lost a ton of value by getting rid of that color.

The paint job was around 1500.00 becuase I had him shave the side moldings, paint the side skirts and rear wing.

Appears to be good job for the $ - Colors were close enough that they didn't need to do the jams etc? Would backing out the shaving make much diifference?

thanks

I didn't get the door jams or under the hood done because then it would have been alot. When I looked at the car and opened the door I couldent even tell. I think it was a little more because of shaving side moldings. Or else the paint job would have been 1200 ish
