I just bought a 1992 civic hatchback and im looking forward to doing some things on it. please inform on the ideas

-bondo dents and rust(already did 80% of it)
-get new air intake
-new paint job(please inquire about this)
Its original factory color was seafoam green and the owner i bought it from painted it silver. I want to give it a new one because its peeling. can i get some information about the price it would cost, etc.
-possibly new muffler

any other ideas of what i should do to it to make it better?

 

post some pix, your on the right path, if it runs good make it look nice first before you upgrade anything mechanicly. once it looks good then start with the mods.

 

yeah, it runs pretty good. i think im just really focusing on getting that paint job done right after im complete with the bondo work

 

Yes make sure the car runs great and there are no mechanic problems, that is step one. Second just go to local places and get prices on a paint job or if you have a spray gun do it yourself for cheaper.

Then Mod away.

 

yeah my friend has spray guns and his dad and him have sprayed a few cars and its supposedly a lot cheaper than the shop?

so yeah, were just gonna do it in his garage when i get everything together.

anymore info or suggestions i could get?

 

Like I said I would do a tune up on your engine, water pump, belts, oil change, spark plugs ect. just to be on the safe side.

If there is a Franks Auto SuperMarket go there for your paint I only payed $50 for all I needed to paint my old ride.

 

you did?

for all the primer, paint color, and clear coating?

and yeah, i live in kauai, hawaii so i dont think they have a franks hahaa

 

Haha ya I would just forget that Idea and find the paint somewhere else, but either way your surely to spend much less doing the job yourself than a shop.

 

I used to live on Hickam AFB on Oahu, HI lol kinda miss the weather and beaches but deff dont miss that traffic lmao anyway go for the diy paint by some buddies just make sure they do a good job!

 

do you need to buy the same amount primer, paint, and clear coat for the finish? like overall, it being 3 gallons?
