So I had a guy who was supposed to do all of the body work and paint on my. Needless to say after 1 month, it was never done.

Here's it before, pretty much when I bought it.

How it sat before I put on the front wheels.

So pretty much a fresh start since now I have no front lip, he busted it in half, no paint, and missing a mirror. I have to buy paint now to paint the car.

Here are my options:

Midori Green Pearl

Championship White

Or Dark Titanium, sorry but no pics of it on a Honda.

I am open to suggestions. I am kind of feeling the green though.

No. A few years back I fixed my friends Prelude's JDM motor. And he was going to repay me by doing the body work and paint my car. So he had said he had it primered, and that it would be done in 5 days. Well I didn't hear from him over those 5 days. I showed up on the promise day and that is how it sat. Then I find out my paint and lip are at someone's garage an hour away. Then after I bring it back home, I start going over everything. Found out he was trying to get the green panels off to sell, he was going to try and sell my Alpine system, he bottomed out joy riding denting the under carriage and busting the lip up, he went through and starting trying to pull my exhaust system out, he was going to try and take my K1's, and he screwed up my front speakers and head unit. He also threw a whole quart of oil over the max amount in my motor. So now it is running a little rough with a lot of vibration coming from the motor. I left the car with an 1/8th of a tank of gas, he put $20 in and I got it back running on fumes, much more joy riding then the trip to the junkyard and back for a door handle.

On a different note. I am also wondering if the Midori Green pearl has a gold tint to it already, or if they added that tint to the paint.

He lives a few hours away now. He might have an addiction, I wouldn't know anymore. I mean out side of the bust lip and no more paint, everything is there. I need to get the license plates lights back in and wired up.

 

[legacyo13]

Yeah, he's avoiding talking to me or seeing me.

I also have decided to go with the Midori Green Pearl with a light gold flake.

So I have a question. I'm trying to save some money, so I am going spray canned primer. I know quite a few people have done this, so I am curious as to how many cans it'll take.

 

[legacyo13]

Yeah, I've got the papers and tape. And the primer is for the rust, then in the spring, I'll have it painted. The guy who agreed to do it said 8 cans probably, and it'll be done in a few hours. Awesomeness. Lol. I'll get the 10 cans just in case. I appreciate it man.

 

[legacyo13]

Good to know. I have to get some fine sandpaper. That's the only thing I don't have off hand. Good thing the autoparts store is in walking distance. Lol

 

[legacyo13]

I picked up 2 quarts of primer and 1 quart of clear. Everything is mixed and ready. I just need time off of work to get it out to my ex's house so her father will paint it for me. He has his garage prepped and ready to go.

I only paid $1500 for the car. The motor is great, suspension is completely done, quarters were done in fiberglass, no rust outside of the surface rust, interior is 9/10 due to a bad spot on the radio door, and the seats have no tears or rips. Outside of the paint and mirror, it's a nice car. What do you consider to be a POS on the car outside of the body?
