are you rocking an air sander to get the spots that need to go deep and big for bondo? i just picked one up the other day and started using it, makes body work SOOOOOO fast and fun.

Air sanders are definately nice, if you get good with it you can use it to wetsand which makes it go so much faster. Or you can be bad with it and make little nicks and have to take the whole area down further like I did my first time.

I just painted my 4-door black last week in the hope to be original (honda never made a black civic sedan, only charcoal).

Anyway, heres how mine looks -



Good luck with it

True, maybe the usdm model came out in true black? mine is from japan, and i am yet to see a true black 4-door come out of the factory, only charcoal black.
