I used hvlp spray gun, white rusto gloss, real happy with results, hood was all dinged up, no way it can look good with that much corrosion, but as long as it looks ok at night. hella lot better than last years paint job i attempted...@spawne32 thanks for the OPINION... ha

It looks like it could have turned out well but the angle of the shots and the bumper being half off and the minus driving / fog lights. Post some shots of her all put back together :D

Also to get the crap out of the hood you coulda have bondo'd the hood and sanded it smooth

What about a junkyard hood? Maybe find a smashed rear car that has a good front?

maybe should get a smaller intercooler so it may be somewhat manageable to fit a bumper over it w/out having to have a lifted, cut-up, leaning, ugly, ugly, ugly *** front end

I know, **** does look pretty ugly from the front, nothing i cant deal with. The junkyards here are bone dry when it comes to finding parts for imports. As soon as they let one down, theres 10 people waiting to take parts from it..lol....

Not even wetsanded.... Its cool though I just want it to look ok for the track, I wasnt aiming for perfection with this 20 year old civic.
ps: my dual wastegates have my intercooler 3 inch out, plus the intercooler is 4.5in thick. and fyi it is a 36in

wow, that front bumper is fugly..you could have atleast cut it straight and not lopsided. get a new hood and bumper and smaller intercooler. just because you go to the track in your 20y/o civic doesn't mean you should look like a Jackass in it.

update this when the correction are made!

I forgot I posted this in the paint and body,,,, GEEZ You people are OBJECTIVE. "Perfect this, perfect that, post when corrected"... Funny....but it is a 20 year old civic, and its main objective is performance, and not looks. Fiy its a garret high density core, custom welded....... Good laugh though. good laugh.

You forgot you posted your "PAINTJOB" thread in the paint and body forum?

If you have a horrid looking front bumper on a car, people will say stuff....surprised? Why get sensitive about it? If the car is set up how you want it, then you shouldn't worry about what people say
