IT is fairly shiny but we will have to see what it looks like after i get all the coats on and get it buffed. I am going to buff the hell out of the paint to try and get the most shine possible.

 

yea the people on the forum said that if you wipe down a small area with the mineral spirits, that is what it could look like in the end.

 

well this weekend it has been rainy so i pulled my protege in the garage and the civic is sittin in the rain. I dont know when im going to be able to finish because ive been picking up a lot of hours at work and i have a bunch of school work to do, but i will keep everyone posted.

 

^^^^ sbowers why have you not got back at me for your front bumper and sideskirts that you said you were gonna sell too me, i just want to know why your not responding to me because i would really like to get them. Im not trying to be annoying but i just want to know.

 

ive been trying to find a way to get them to you, i may be buying an integra shell in NY if i did that would be awesome so we could meet some where. Ive been waiting to find out more info about that, i cant find a box to put something that large into. Im sorry about the delay, i should know about the shell within a few days and ill go and buy a box if that is the last resort.




On another note i got the 5th coat on and i plan on leaving it here, I have not yet final sanded and buffed but here are the results.

hell yeah man, looks like a real paint job. are you wet sanding between each coat? what grit papers are you using? how long are you letting it dry for?

 

now ti's time to do something about those wiper arms...

 

Used 600 grit between each 2 coats and waited atleast 10 hours between coats to ensure dryness. I am curious to see as to how many people would be interested in a complete diy.

 

Hahaha this car was a ricer mobile before i got my hands on it. I dont know what the previous owner was thinkin when he worked on it.

 

I will be interested in a complete DIY as I will be doing my car sometime within the next three weeks...as soon as I get my flywheel replaced((
