[Freeze]

and the after....

That green was..... interesting. It looks like it was meant to be driven off road.

Was the new red rattle-canned?

 

[Freeze]

yes it was it didn't turn out too bad except for the hood but i mean i dont care that green was just horrible

 

[housegsx]

I rattle canned my old Honda Prelude red once. If it doesn't have metallic in it, it usually comes out pretty good. A few clearcoats definitely makes it shine.

It certainly looks much better.

thanks im happy with it for now even tho yesterday i had to change the alternator in it for the 3rd time since i got the car but thats just how things go for me!!!

I think the green was unique.

Nice! Did you do inside the doors or engine bay any?

 

[Freeze]

[pj91gsx]

what kind of paint did you use?

 

[Freeze]

walmart 1.06 paint gotta love it

 

[motozachl]

that green kinda reminds me of olive drab that's used on military vehicles. a nice flat spray job with that would prob be sweet as hell. i did that to a cbr once. i'll try an find a pic if i still have one

 

[pj91gsx]

[1996dsm]

[VTEC_THIS]

Looks awesome .

OP: Did you prep the car at all before spraying or just sprayed it?

 

[Freeze]

it took me and my buddies like 4 hours total and about an hour and a half was painting it the rest was prep work and goin to get more paint i just wish i could find a front mount cheep

The hood looks bad because you were a few cans short. You should redo it. 20 bucks give or take to fix it is peanuts. Do it up.

 

[Freeze]
