Ok I know I posted before and got flamed for stickers , emblems , ride height , white hood, and rims, I just wanna make some things clear before you start flaming me. I am gonna remove the front windshield banner. I am getting Rota subzero white 17", a full suspension kit. These pics will not do the paint any justice tho because it is something you must see in real life to appreciate. The paint it a black base coat with 3 layers of clear and the middle layer having "floating" blue metallics which gives the car the blue color. At night it has a black and midnight blue look and in the day it looks purple / si blue / viper blue. I am sorry for the size of the pics but I cant do anything about it?!? I will try to thumbnail them later for everyone. well enjoy the pics I just want opinions of my car so far not flames about how much of a rice boy I am!

Shiet, your ride is hella clean, forget about what others say, stick with what you like! Even though im not into stickers and pretty lights myself. But still clean!!

 

Looks good man..... lower it and ur ride will look even more better as it does now....

 

twanks all! "sounds like the honda-tech gods like the paint job what do u think issanni" (name of the car)

 

looks good...the paint is nice and about 100x's better than what it used to look like...i cant wait to see it in person!

 

NICE paint job. Did you do it? The only thing I don't like is the reflectors just behind the wheel wells and in front of the doors.

 

very nice!! i wish i can see that paint in person

 

The paint looks great! Any bass in the pond?

 

can the wing be any taller. I don't think it's big enough.

 

Hood, wing, and grill aren't my style, but the color and the treated tailights are slick. How much is a good paint job like that?

 

caliper paint looks good...i've got the same thing...the grill stands out too much now though

 

cool, isint Velocity a drift team / board?

 

Hey the caliper paint definitely looks good - what kind of paint did you use, and how long does it last w/out chipping and flaking?

 

Thanks for all of the responces,
Trench, Thanks, I did not do it my friend with a body shop did, The reflectors in the front are my factory turn signals, and the ones behind my wheel well are my side markers.
Keys, Thanks you I promise it looks much nicer in person.
MmmVTEC, Yeah thats cool, the hood and wing are mugen look-a-likes and the wing is a lil high for me also, the grill never has came out good in pictures it looks better in person
Reverend, The paint I got from pep boys and it has not chipped or flaked yet. I do need to repaint it tho cause it is a bit faded, I did not even sand the calipers and they did not chip or peel, just make sure u get heat resistant paint!
Thank you for all of your responces! My exterior is now complete other than suspension and rims.

 

dont really like the grill, kinda looks like it sticks out too much. but other than that, nice car!! you should add some side skirts

 

ok a few questions:
first off it looks really good!! At least from what i can tell it was done really nice.

--was the paint before hand in bad shape?
--what color was it?
--what steps were involved ..ie, sanding or stripping existing paint?
--did you have any small dings or dents that needed smoothing out before the paint could be done in order to get the smothest appearence??

The reason for my questioning is i have been really really wanting to have the front end of mine repainted. 7 years or driving causes little nicks and scratches and i would like the front end, hood and possibly front quarter pannels done. The rest of the car however is in great shape paint wise.

any comments would be appriciated.

 

Hey GSR Camel! Any chance you'd be selling your stock wheels when you get the new ones? If so, hit me up at slickboy_59@hotmail.com. I need a set of stock wheels. Lemme know!

 

yeah i had a good amount of dings and some bondo that needed to be removed, it was black, He sanded it, shaved all of the stuff I asked for, primered it, 2 layers of black base coat, 1 layer of clear, 1 layer of blue metallic, and one layer of clear making it a 5 layer paint job
