I posted this DIY How-To thread in the paint and body forum as I thought that was more appropriate, but it might be interesting/helpful to Prelude guys also.

Quality post, the car came out great!

 

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. That's a whole hell of a lot of work, but I agree, it's something you'll eventually have to do if you want to drive an old Honda.

I'd hate to drive it in the rain after all that. Definitely get a beater for the rotten weather duty.

-P

 

Thanks guys, it was a labor of love for sure...

Pirate, I have this for nasty weather. The paint is garbage and the interior is bargain-bin 90's Chevy cloth

 

Very nice job on the resto, that color looks fantastic. So damned thankful that my car doesn't have the rust like yours did lol.

Engine bay of your Lumina(?) looks nice doe.
