Looks Awesome Man! I think Your Right On The More Clear Coats... But Excellent !!!

 

looks fricken sweet dude.

 

Thanks for all the responses guys.I used dupli-color clear as well.Thanks for fixing the links mxs, they were just taken from photobuckets website, and I didnt know I had to change them.Mill, Im not sure about the durability of a rattle can either, but I do plan on doing a paint job to the car in the near future, but want it to look nice in the mean time.As for a more detailed write up, what else would you like to know street? I used a palm sander(not orbital, just a regular block sander)I used 220 grit.I hand sanded in the grill area, same grit.Then I took a hose and rinsed the whole bumper.Dried it will paper towels, and took a tack cloth to the bumper.The finish is incredibly smooth Im very satisfied with the dupli-color products. CAN WE GET THIS MOVED TO THE DIY SECTION PLEASE?

 

That looks like it turned out pretty damn good... I did that to the bumpers of my intrepid to two tone it, that dupli-color is nice. It should last for a while, only thing that killed mine was kicking icicles off of it... [:@]

 

Excellent job it looks just like new in the pic. It should last you for awhile anyway.

 

There is already a "Painting Parts" DIY... I guess it can't hurt to have two, I'll let mxs (Or whoever) decide.

nice work though bro!

 

What are those 2 little stick looking things in your gril lol, and did you do your hood it looks a little cleaned up and is it a CF hood or just black?

 

He is definately right about the quality products thing. One thing that i have noticed that helps a LOT when painting is getting an airbrush. I just picked up at $50 airbrush at a local hobby shop, nothing too big, just large enough to do stuff like side skirts and other random things. You can get a MUCH better finish with it and make is look nearly professional while spending less than a fifth of what you would spend to have it done professionally.

The bumper looks AWESOME though, and as absolute said, it does look 10x better!

 

I actually have a professional spray gun and am actually going to get into professional painting this year, I just dont have the place to do at the moment.Im hoping to find a place cheap, bc I can completely sand a car and prime it in a half day.Im gonna try to do paint jobs for 1000 for friends.Using my car as the first example of course.As for those two little things stickin out of my grill it is actually a liscense plate fastener.I have not done the hood yet, I plan to do it this weekend, dont worry I will post pics of the progress, I want my civic to eventually get Ride of the month...lol.
