before shot when the car was first bought..























still need to do a final wet sand... i am not completely satisfied with the outcome since the body shop sold me with the clear coat premixed and it did not set properly... i will prob wet sand it then do a separate clear coat... it should turn out better...

this is my cousin's car now since i couldn't afford insurance on all four cars... he wanted to do it San Marino Red... but they wanted $800 for the paint alone... he said that he would rather put that money into the engine etc...

i miss this car...

 

Nice, what color did you shoot it with? Was it OEM stuff like PPG or some other color? And how many coats? Seems pretty well done. The left side of the trunk seems to sit a little lower than the right though.

 

Oooooo a Legend coupe

 

Nice... I like backyard paint jobs... sometimes it's just nice to own a cheap car...

 

I also have a pic request if you don't mind. Did you paint the door jambs? Pics of the door jambs with the rest of the car in the picture, please.

 

man good eye... yeah needs to get realigned... i think cause the lights weren't in it to keep it up either??? but i haven't touched the car since last week...

its Honda's Taffeta White.. without the pearl... i will try to complete this project before winter comes... and i did one coat of primer and two coats of paint...

 

my prelude took a dump this morning... so alot of my time will now be devoted to trying to get that car back running correctly again... so i will try to get this pic to you soon... story here if anyone is interested...

yeah too bad it is a type I and only a 5spd.... this thing is a feather compared to the 1st gen... or maybe it is all in the mind... or the MT...

 

Its the manual tranny. The TL auto has some tame gear ratios and throttle response.

 

god i need to find money and do the damn swap... it is like night and day...

 

Yes it is. Unfortunately my tranny is holding up well, so it'll be a while until the 6 speed swap

 

Sweet. I'm interested in seeing what it looks like when all is done.

 

hopefully purrdy...
