Default finally got my car back from the paintshop!

got my car back yesterday.. she's gold metallic now. here's "Goldie"

before:



after:








I'l have more as time goes on.. it's jsut hard to get pictures of the color as it tends to look more green with the camera.

also, the center grill is going to be painted black. I'm still undecided if I want to do the side grills or not.

Looks better than before but it still doesn't ring my bell. Are the jambs and underhood paint matched? Also please paint front grille back to black soon.

Looks okay I guess. If you didn't like it you wouldn't be posting right?

underhood isn't, because I like the black(actually phantom grey) under the hood. the jambs are matched however. I also still need to fit the front bumper a little better.

the color wasn't meant to make ayone like it, it was just meant to stand out. which isn't too easy to do with a civic, and when 5 of your friends also have 92-95 hatches.

look at the second before picture.. I wouldn't have, but my bumper was all primer. therefore, it'll get painted black later.

nice car but that middle grill just says "cheapo" to me. either sand it down or paint it back, but whenever i see a car with the middle grill done i think "cheap *** macco job" eve though sometimes its not true
