Finally I finish the lip spoiler. It was smoothed, grey primer, X-18 + XF-56 + X-19 for the carbon effect. Same goes for the rear spoiler below it.



By next week it should be safe to do a little polish on them, I will glue them on right after polish. Then the car becomes 100% complete. Cheers!

Now, I don't know how, but I missed this. To account for everybody's at least 20 posts, I've added these remarks:
"damn"
"wow"
"sweet''
''oh shit!''
''that's mad''
''wicked''
''yowzers''
''it's a 4dr, but it's soo cool''
''mad putty skills''

And, finally as he would say

Actually...never mind about the wait. I checked the parts and their paint had dried enough to touch, and since taking pictures is fun, i decided to snap it with spoilers held on using blu tack. gonna have to wait for outdoor pics though...




The pic of the back of the car is my favorite. It shows all my hard work.


This model has little mistakes everywhere such as paint rub throughs, broken decals, and i keep seeing squadron putty shrinkage from certain angles. the left spoon decal got badly melted from mr.mark softer. This is my first time screwing up a decal this way and i surely learned my lesson.
Looks like I still got a lot to learn...

Simply amazing!

Are there matching decals for the right side as on the left?

I put the decals on the left side solely to cover a putty crack after painting the body twice already. The right side however seems smooth and I never thought i needed decals. But would it look better if i put decals on the right side too? What decals should i put on?

I wanted to keep the car as clean as possible with few spoon sports decals...too bad the crack happened and im not good enough to fix...

I chose green because I havent built green cars for a long time...

I was trying to match the stock dark green found on usual civic sedans of that vintage on the streets. What I did to match was copy a pic of a civic of that green onto my comp desktop, mix my color on old cds, let dry, then put the paint right next to my monitor. It looked fine comparing it that way.
