I know it isn't pretty, and in fact we didn't have any Frost white paint either... so we found the closest matching paint from a toyota and used that, hardly noticable unles you look for it

Washed

Not to bad of a job, at least the rust is gone right. Where was the rust?

I must say your doing a pretty dam good job keeping it rust free for living in Canada, no rear fender cancer. Good job!

hey fiirk,

you should try "floating" the paint on with a roller.

i read a tutorial somewhere on one of those integra forums where a guy painted his entire car with a roller and thinned out paint. and it looked AWESOME.

you have to thin out the paint with water or something similar and use several coats because of the paint bubbling at first, but it works. do a google search.
