Did you paint it yourself? If so, whats the process? Like :

1. Wet sand
2. blah blah.

Peace. Thank you.

It took about 2 months. I had minor door dings. I also had fender and hood damage. I replaced those. After doing all the body work, I blocked the sides after priming it. i did it all at school in my auto body class. Yes, i'm still in High School. Well, after completing the body work i bought the paint. The white is off a 84' Toyota Supra. It's actually called Super White. Some people mistake it for championship white. This probably because I added white pearl to the clear. Painting took about three hours, that includes masking. I still have to cut and buff the car when i go back to school. I'm still enjoying spring break.

Single stage homemade paint paint job. Turned out good enough for me. Its a dedicated track car so all we did was spray it and call it a day. No buffing or wetsanding. It susposed to be championship white in color, but to tell you the truth there are quite a few different shades of white because I ran out of paint and had to have more mixed. But all in all, it was worth the $100 or so it cost to paint it.

haha, thanks for mentioning it! Peeled off on the hood! I obviously didnt do a good job of prepping the surface and only put down a couple layers of paint. ****, even the championship white touch up paint I got from Acura doesnt match right!
