Updates to my DGP TL......

~ASPEC kit installed. It was given to me by Carrielynn (Thanks Carrie!!) becasue she converted to a Type S front and rear. Everything was anthracite, but was repainted DGP by me, with sanding help from Solo (Thanks Solo!).

~Accord fogs installed.

~Color matched the projector bezels DGP.

~Repainted front grill because it was chipping.

Damn that looks AWESOME man. Usually I'm not a huge fan of DGP, but you and a few others have really made me think twice about the color. Any plans on finishing the A-Spec kit by getting the sides?

I love the hellafunctional sticker

Nassau County? Orange Country FTW

Yeah I'm going to get the side soon. I got the front and rear for free so I figured I'd throw them on without the sides for now.

Thanks for the compliment!

And yeah, Nassau County. Amelia Island to be exact. I live in CT now though.

Justin, well done! And with those wheels-you got it going on, brother. I wish CarrieLynn would give me something Acura.

Love the rims. Loving that drop. Nice ride bro. I need to stop being a wuss and get some lower grill fogs already. I'm just afraid I won't do it that well, with all the cutting and such. Your DGP is on point!!

Glad it turned out so well, I knew it would though. Justin you have a magic hand with that spray can, let me tell you. Between your lip kit, Carrie's grill and Leo's insane RL grill, you did great work over the weekend. That makes you the lucky winner to paint my Sarona... awesome huh?!

Can't wait for Heckscher.

Yes, lol. One can do great things with a rattlecan as long as you prep everything right and have a steady hand.

The car looks great. I had the same set of rims come in to a local shop to put on, but they didn't clear the Brembos....The look on a dropped car is really nice. Great look!

Actually there is an auto body supply store near where I live and I had them mix me up two 12oz cans of DGP in an enamel (clear already mixed in). It covered REALLY well and matches near perfect.

I'm going to put a couple more coats of clear on it this weekend if weather permits.

Not sure what the tips were, but they have a really wide and even spray pattern. Made for great coverage.

I'm probably going to re-do the front. I want to fill in the little indent that separates the gray part front the green part, then spray the whole front lip green. Gotta buy more paint for my engine covers anyway.

Wow, that looks amazing. Can you give a short diy of how you prepped it for paint and your techniques for actually painting it. Also, can this paint be bought at any auto shop?
