HOW's your civic !!?

[lilROOKZ]

still needs to be wet sanded, but basically ready for paint.

holy cow dude.

Definitely lay down a good couple coats of primer before spraying base on.

Mine's doing alright. Gonna get it repainted professionally in the spring. Just trying to decide on a color.

 

[lilROOKZ]

thats primer over bondo spots and where theres some bare metal showing.
but yeah im trying to decide on a color too....im painting mine with some buddies.

 

[4bangincivic]

Please tell me you're just putting those tails in for painting.

 

[lilROOKZ]

haahaha the tail lights....yeah those are deff. coming out when it gets painted. dont worry...

 

[amaestre32]

yeah get rid of those lol.

 

[Genuine Rolla]

i mean, you gotta primer the whole car. Not just some spots.

yeah or else your base will have blemishes and irreguarities

 

[lilROOKZ]

ill prolly get some primer for the paint gun and spray a coat before i paint it. i just did that as a quick fix for now cause i didnt want bondo showing or bare metal. but yeah im going to look at car quest for some paint tomarrow. i dont know what color to go with, i dont want red or blue cause theres a lot of civics like that, but i dont wanna stick out too much....so idk

Black FTW . But it depends on what rims you're putting on it, I guess. Or if you're riding the steelies.

Did you get paint on your motor?

 

[PhntmSk8r]

Burn the edges much?

 

[lilROOKZ]

had to take the pin strip that was down the side off....with a sander.

 

[PhntmSk8r]

thats what eraser wheels are for.

Not to try and down on you, but you know the paint's going to be wavy as hell right? That car's not going to look straight at all, unless you're planning on spending some time with 180grit and a long block after you 2k high build the whole car.

 

[lilROOKZ]

its a daily driver.....and i still have sanding and wet sanding to do im gonna try to get it as smooth as i can and im doin it all myself. if anything its a learning process. i dont have the money to get it all done profesionaly done, wish i did...
i got another question. my camber kits coming through my strut towers....i had another thread on this but does cutting the strut tower weakin' it ? or should i just cut down some universal bumpstops and put'em on there to where the camber hits the bump stop and stops it from coming through the towers??

 

[mymmeryloss]

ur gonna ruin ur car...

 

[R3dline]

ur gonna ruin ur car...

x2, you have no clue what your doin man, not tryin to bash you, but its gonna look like s**t, i use to work in a honda dealer ship body shop, and pretty much everything you have done is wrong,

 

[cheezeonmakneez]

Dont listen to R3d, he thinks ctr mirrors are the best

 

[R3dline]

heh ass

Take the above said as constructive criticism and get someone to look over your work before you paint, maybe stop by a body shop and offer somebody $20 to give you some advice. It will turn out better for it.
