Progress: Graphite Metallic Integra Type R

[pre98zetec]

Here's my new project, Since the Civic got melted.. Yeah don't ask. Anyway's heres the body, Duplicolor red primer, Duplicolor Graphite color, and Duplicolor clear, NO sanding anycoats, or clear coat, Then some 3M polish and i got this shine, Heres some pic of the shine and some pics of the rubbers i painted, which need a little touch up..I plan on adding a rollcage, Polished to a chrome shine, Like I did in the civic. Also a polished muffler. And a CAI. Thanks for looking...

Duplicolor is Auto paint and the right preparation methods must be used! Josh, that's a sweet shine!!

Thank's man.. I was surprised that it came out so shiny!. BTW, Here's a teaser pic of my next teg... Royal blue.. It has a little orange peel on the side, I'll have to sand that out.. No progress on the graphite one but.I almost screwed the engine block up today, My superglue had a hole in the tube so when I went to glue on the header, well test fit for the turbo header,which I will prolly be adding, I got glue all over the one side of the block, I threw it in water, doubt that helps, but I hope it didnt ruin it. I did decide on rims, Stock skyline rims, cut down on ITR tires. And I decided on NO rollcage as to the blue one will be a road racer, Striped interior, mostly everything..
Anyway's here's the blue one! BTW theres still polish in the panel lines. even on the graphite one..P.S i know my hands dirty, damn airbrush..

you're getting a good shine on these! as for the engine block, you probably could of thrown some super hot water over it to wash it away, im assuming the hot water would make the hot glue runnier and wash off easier. anyway keep up the good work.

Here's some ride height pic's, Badass IMO..As you can see I swaped the Type R decals for the dohc VTEC ones in the civic, It's more subtle IMO. You can see the clear corners to , I just put BMF behind the light.....

Here's the valve cover so far, I got the Vtec decal from the civic, along with the honda H. I also got the block painted and detailed, I won't be doing the turbo.. The road racer will have a turbo..
