My car has been a mess for a while. It is finally getting there. A year ago I was rear ended and then a few monthes after that i rear ended someone. So then off to the junk yard I went. I got a 2000 rear end and kept the front end the original 98 front (i like it better in my opinion.) But my car was white with a black hood, green trunk, and gold rear bumper... I finally got her all white... Heres some pics... I know its noting special... but here it is. I only painted the trunk, filler panels, rear bumper, hood and front bumper. I did the prep work myself and had a friend spray it for me at his house. I am gonna wet sand and buff it next week. Came out damn good for doing it in a carport...

i painted the just hood, front and rear bumper and trunk only. I plan on painting the entire car later, this is the first paint job i did myself... I am thinking of painting the side skirts this weekend... but i am gonna leave everything else for now.

Looking good, too bad you painted the black mesh in the bumper.

overall your car looks good, beside that, you should of paint the whole car and leave the front mesh black. but great work on it.

not bad, but you really gotta paint the opening on the front bumper back to black. It'll look much cleaner~
