The sides of the front bumper need to be brought down to match the side skirts but I'm on to it !

I didn't dare do another one with a Blitz front bumper so I just played around with t he stock front end - I'm not sure what color is going to be -
I thought about candy blue but there seems to be a lot of blue ones about so I may have to have a rethink

As regards the FD - I decided to remove part of the side skirt but its turned out to be a bit more complicated than I thought so at the moment I need to do some filling and sanding -still can't decide on a color for this one either

I've just made level 1 !

I've just made level 1 ! :sunglasse Nice car, those rims are sweet, why not paint it black or red it would look nice w/those rims. :2cents:

:iagree:

Finally decided on a colour and it's candy red:
I must admit I rushed it - the solvents must be fairly 'hot' as some of the bodywork has etched and I've also got some bits in the paint caused by the airbrush spitting- still s**t happens :frown:
Hopefully be able to hide the worst of it with clearcoat

You guys didn't get the Civic coupe in the U.K., did you? Good work so far!! :)

yes we do have the civic coupe in the uk, rare though it may be they are cheap tho! hmmmm next project car maybe? but we also have the full range including the type r civic.

think we got the new shape type r civic even before you guys!! apc imported one from here to be their show car.

my friend has just bought a civic 1.5 vtec, and i love it, in the process of doing it up to show standards at the moment, gotta make sure he cant beat my lexus tho! no way would i ever live it down if a car that cost less than a quarter of mine beat me!

I wasn't very happy with the finish that I got first time round so flatted it down and took my time & sprayed thinner coats second time - attached photo is after clearcoat but before polishing - I think its an improvement

looked good in the begining now it looks better:bigthumb:

oh man, i am LOVING that color :eek: :eek: :eek: :bigthumb:

More quality work from you!:smile:

:bigthumb:

is that.... Candy Apple Red????
or what?
Goran

Cant wait to see this all done.
Paint looks sweet.

Thanks guys:bigthumb:
Just waiting for the lacquer to gas out and then I can get on with polishing it out

Little bit of progress - I've polished out the clearcoat and sprayed up the window surrounds (I hate masking !). As the sun was out this morning took some pictures:biggrin:

Shes a verified beauty!!!! amazing paintjob!!

Got an eye infection ay the moment so haven't felt like doing much - just fitted up the lights etc - pics attached - hopefully more progress next weekend

Progress at last - I couldn't decide colours for the interior that would ok with the candy red - will go with attached as trying to keep things subtle

That's a very nice interior. Really subtle, but effective...:D

Nice work Andy, but honestly I hate that type of paint... don't know why.. but you maybe able to change my mind with the work you're doing.

I very much like :thumbsup:

Looks great, Andy. That paintjob is killer.

Couple of shots of the completed interior - getting there slowly !

but hey we all want some more pictures of the body of the car...
