1. Sand the hood down.

2. Drive around for a few wks/months and let it accumulate surface rust.

3. Then clear.

I like the black accents with that blue, those skirts needs to be black too though.

Yeah, I really would like that blue.

Is that like a new style or something? I've seen a couple cars around town like that.

Coincidentally came across this at the restaurant last night.

I feel like it's mostly a Euro thing, bimmers and hispter Vdubs.

As of right now, the only other color I'd spray it is blue. Otherwise I'd just be leaving it as-is.

Yes!

I saw this happening a few years ago and was like WTF, but after seeing it done correctly on a few cars I really liked the look.


It is totally a Euro or high end Honda build thing.

So, if I spray the car blue then the question is: What blue? Late model Civic blue or new model Civic blue?

Or this...

Sonic or performance blue.

I'll have to mix up a small amount of the civic blue, sonic, and performance blue and see which one I like. Thanks for the suggestion.

Got the car out today. Gorgeous day for it even though it was just to work on Jenn's truck.

HDR makes the color look really bright. Them long tubes though.

So I quit my job on Monday and my boss got all pissy and didn't want me to work the entire week so I've got a couple days off until I start my new job on Monday. So working on stuff is what I do best with my time, might as well use it since I've gotta throw a new fuel pump, tank, and lines in Jenn's truck this weekend.

Priority being to paint the one unpainted mirror, skirts, spray and install the new grille, and either finish up the front cover or finish up the trunk lid.

I also just decided to spray the valve cover since racecar and all. Still trying to get this "JDM lyfe" ordeal down.
