89 sedan pic
this was taken shortly after the paintjob. my car was cardinal red with some rust on the rear quarter panels. I sanded the entire car down and did all the body work. Eric did the actuall painting. We originally wanted to practice on another car first but we painted enough panels and glass enclosures, we thought what the hell! got the paint real cheap and with other supplies we spent around $500. All my friends said, why bother, if you aren't gonna spend a lot of money, just take it to Macco. WE wanted to do it. I did all that hard work and I am damn proud of it. Color sanding was my favorite part i love how it....feels. Buffing was fun too and my arms got a good workout. We still haven't done anything to the interior (except the recent integra seats) and i know maroon and blue don't mix well but oh well. i am more concerned with tinting the windows sometime in the near future. it'll all get done eventually. same with the bumpers. we meant to do those soon after but never did...it'll get done...i'll get my priorities straight!
I'll get some more pics up so you can actually see what i am blabbing about.

Yeah, I love that blue color! Looks great from what I can see.
What is "color sanding"?

Thanks guys. the paint is actually the electron blue pearl. it was right after the new Si came out and i loved the color. we are gonna redo it sometime soon and i want either a brighter blue or a deeper color like cobalt. can't make up my mind.
we had a problem with the air and paint mix ratio during the clear coat. it had orange peel so i had to do more color sanding then normal. oh and color sanding is wet sanding. i sanded with the hose for a couple of days till my fingers were bleeding. but my hands had never been smoother! i was having a hard time getting the small divots out of the real bad spots. so i went one more coarser than i was supposed to. i need to learn that more is not always better. so i scratched up my new paint job in a few areas. and had to fix it with a lot of buffing. at least i learned a lot in the process. like what not to do. it's ironic becuase at first i was scared to buff out the orange peel so that's why i risked it with more sanding. then that caused me to have to buff a lot more. geez... it did turn out nice though. maybe a little rough around the edges but i'm not crying about it.

wheels
found an old pic of the konig toxxins i have on my car. my first rims where chromies, neeper i think. bought em used. better than stock at the time. i love these wheels now. at first i wanted white ones but i am so happy i went with polished. i have adjustable coilovers and we could have raised em a little but we rolled the fenders instead. turned out perfectly. after we painted the car, i got the red off of the center caps and i painted the axle nut black. oh and i've got the wings west RS front bumper.
