i drive a 96 hatch with a 3 tone paint. i didnt want to cruise around in a 3 tone car so i decided to go to a local autozone store, and get some silver can spray paint to try to paint my 99 si front end conversion.

I mean did he just buy sandpaper and got everything else for free? I know an ej can be an ek hatch. I had an ej coupe :squint:

 

is it so hard to believe. i have some sandpaper laying around, beside how much does sandpaper cost. and i only use 4 cans of paint which cost about 4 per can.

my black housing didnt turn out so great and it was fogging up, so decide to put back my stock.

 

im gunna help with the calling of bullshit for a few reasons.
1. Why else would you only block out the plate number in 1 pic and not the other? to hide the fact that its a different car

2. The rear "after" picture has a lip on the back bumper and the before pic doesnt. yo didnt mention that and if you put it on you probably would of mentioned it

3. the sticker and emblem on the back are missing in the "after" pic. Again, you would of mentioned that

4. You didnt say anythinything about painting your side skirts and moulding. All you said was your 99 SI front end

even if you "forgot to mention" those parts i know its a lie because there is no way in hell you painted a front bumper, two fenders, rear bumper, side skirts, and mouldings on both sides with 4 cans of paint, especially since the whole front had to go fron dark blue to silver

sorry to make you a liar, but you are

 

You forgot the hood.

1. i forgot to blur out the first plate, thanks for bringing it out.
2. you want everything in detail or what, my rear bumper is all jack up so i replace it with a new bumper and add the ctr lip while i was at it. if you want detail i also add the 99-00 taillights.
3. yes i remove those civic/cx emblem. is it a crime to not mention it.
4. i said i paint my car. well if you look at the picture you can tell i painted the molding and side skirt why would i mention it if you can see it.

finally i guess you dont know how to you use spray paint then.

damn, guess i cant plz everyone

btw, the hood is my friend so i didnt touch it.

 

Not bad buddy

 

Looking good man. I've done it for about 20 bones before. It can happen

 

very good job, im sure its temporary right? And i know thus guy is telling the truth cause the other owner before him put on the SI front clip.

 

its not fake look at when the car is registered they are both in APR. that would take a lot of work to find another car with the same reg. date just to be a lier
some people are just f@cking clowns...

good job man looks good for 20.00$$$

 

man what a difference , can you teach me how to spray paint like that


you should paint the handles, mirrors , and license plate trim to finish it off

nice job! can't beat that for $20

 

best 20 dollar paintjob i've ever seen!

 

Assuming the clearcoat isnt so good on it? &gt;_&lt;

Autozone paint, no matter what. It will still look like ****... Not sure about you guys, even tries after tries... It DOESNT last that long! It works temporary, but yet in the long run, it lOoks ghetto with the rough looking paint on the car. &gt;_&lt;

But hey. I guess it works for now? -
