89 Civic SI new paint (56k beware)

[a91civic]

Here are some pics of my SI I just painted. (originaly white)
it has taken over a month to get the body straight, but now I am almost finished!

There is still more that I need to do in or to be done. hood, moldings, mirrors, rear spoiler and behind the gas door still need to be painted Also still need to pull the engine and paint the engine bay and replace the bearings in the tranny. and I am going to 20% tint the windows

I finally got all the interior back in.

List of things that I have ordered.

Clear Corners and bumper lenses (going to smoke them to match taillighs)
Main Relay.
Dropzone Springs.
Bomz cold air intake.
Bomz Muffler.
Brake pads and rotors.





It's to bad you all can't see the color of the paint in person it looks so coool!!

Looks pretty good. Not a big fan of the black tails and black car. Still looks pretty good none the less.

Looks good man. How much did the paint job cost ya?

At first that tree looked like a big ugly scratch. What are you planning on doing for the hood?

It only cost me $120.00 for clear coat, over a month of prep work to get the body straight though! I used paint left over from other jobs we did so the color didn't cost anything...

I am still waiting for the hood to get delivered, as soon as I get it, it will be painted along with the moldings, mirrors and spoiler. I accidentaly droped the spoiler of the hook when I was clearing it... DOH!

I mixed black in clear coat then sprayed the tail lights, it's pretty cool becuase they are perfectly legal because they still reflect.

Thats a good deal man. It cost my Bro 6 hundred to paint his mustang, including overspray on a lot of the crome. Lesson learned, check pics of previous jobs before letting some random garage paint your ride Good job bud.
