Well my first and only paint job for awhile was done at my school in Texas, about 3-4 years ago. I am finally throwing a motor in so I am back in the Honda scene. Just wanted to share with y'all a restoration almost completed. I have hundreds of pictures throughout the process but ill just throw some up here.

As you might have seen on some of my other posts, before:


And after major body work, new fender and new hood.

My passanger side door had a hammer taken to it with hundreds of fn dents. all fixed up and door protectors were welded flat and worked into the body.

 

Trying to space out some of the vast amount of pictures I have but Ill cut to the chase here, first is all primer ready for the paint booth



NEXT is the big bang, color....





WHICH means nothing without some mad clear coats with no runs or drips, only deserving of this color!

 

What color was it originally? The door/trunk jams didn't get painted did they?

EDIT: Realized that post was a little negative sounding. The color came out great, that's for sure.

 

Thanks and yes of course they got painted!! They were the first thing along with the engine bay and the trunk. The car was originally a plum purple! Haha The passenger side door had this insane paint job straight outta a fast and furious movie with about five different colors and crazy line designs.

 

Nice paint job!

 

Great job on the paint.

 

Before



After

 

Nice change.

 

SOLID color change..

 

How did you get the tape to hold to the door jam on the car? Mine always fell... pain in the butt.

 

Thanks!! And I masked everything from the back reaching through a little hole then masked the hole off haha. Easily one of the most difficult things to mask on it!!

 

Is that a metalic?

I always use 3M green or gold masking tape, its holds up very well and stays in place. Sometimes ill give where I am masking a quick wipe with some wax and grease remover.

 

Yes it has a small amount of metallic flakes, not much but just perfect in the sun!

 

nice color

 

Sweet!

 

Nice job bro. Digging the blue and the detail u have for ur car

 

Nice job man! Excited to see the final result on the street
