4UH8ERS Finally painted
So i fianlly painted it. It was originally green when i got it, then i painted it half ass champ white. I finally put some effort in it and did some body work on it, and sprayed it at my work on Wed. I just mixed some silver and a lil black together and this was the result. Its got 3 coats of base and 4 coats of clear.
Let me know what you think. All comments are welcome. i can take it

i'd like bigger pictures please. looks good from what i can tell though.
Car looks good from what I can see of it.
Back to being stock and slow
I took these pics when i stopped by my moms house, and she emailed them to me this size. The only program i have that i know how to resize pics with is paint, and when i resize them, the resolution goes to hell, and the pics look like crap. Is there any other way i can make them bigger and still keep the good quality?????......i am kinda a noob at this
use photobucket or another photo hosting site it def looks good though i like the smoked corners for eg's but looks great like you have it did you do jambs and bay as well?

I had blacked out the jambs and the engine bay when i painted it white a while back. I will prob leave them black for the time being, cause i dnt know how long i will keep it this color. hahaha, i am very undecisive when it comes to the color
god damnit post bigger pics... looks fucking sexy.
damn looks good cant wait to paint mine soon reps for good job
thank you guys. I am messing around with photobucket right now. Hopefully will have some bigger pics in a bit.
Dahm!!! Its still doing the same thing on photobucket. I am gonna have my mother send me new ones.

the pics are resized now. As you can tell, it still needs some more wetsanding. I did it in my garage and there isnt enough light to see everything, but the next day i could def see where i had missed spots. The hood is CF, and now i can start to see where the carbon was soaking up some of the basecoat and clear. It has a few cracks in it also, but i will be fixin that soon.
looks really good

the saga continues....
thankyou sir. I got a lot more detailing and perfectin before my nitpicky ass is happy with it completely
I'll be honest. Your car looks great. Nice, low and clean. If you leave it the way it is now (maaaaaaaybe a set of wheels.....but no bigger than 15), it'll be perfect.
One complaint.....the goddamn tow hook. Not only is it unnecessary on your car, it's on the wrong end.
End result of my post? +76 points. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
QD approves!!Thanks man!! I want to get a set of wheels, but i am too picky with whick ones i want.......hahaha....yea, the tow hook is just the ricer inside of me screamin to come out. I just like the look for some reason.
LOOKS GREAT MAN!
Damn you Jake. Why didn't you fix above the rear quarter
hahaha. The day i was plannin on paintin the car, i was just gonna knock it out from the inside, and when i pulled the interior panel out, it was just a solid brace behind it, so i couldnt knock it out without the dent puller, and i wasnt about to just fill it in with bondo, which was a lot of peoples idea. So i am just gonna say that its my trade mark! haha. Thanks mane
nice job man
looks good tho, man. I like that color
i love the color.. car looks great... i think new wheels would look great.. id say 16's atleast..
Why bigger wheels? 15s should be max. With that ride height, 15s with probably 195/50 would look great. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
i dont like 15's on anything but i will have to agree with QD. the ride height + 15's would set this car off.
That means you hate my car with a passion, lolol. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
well maybe i worded that wrong. your's is a restoration and should be put back the way it came from the factory. i have a 97 hatch and i would not go lower than a 16.
because it already has 15's on it...lol Personally i can never buy the same size wheel over again.. i have to always go up one size..15's would be nice, but the car clearly isnt gonna be moving too fast at that ride height...lol a bigger less sporty wheel, with that color seems appropriate..
coming from another painter.........it looks great.
hella klean/
I had considered the rota d2s, the work meister knock offs, but i am too indecisive. Thanks for all the comments guys.
Jake, it looks sick as hell!!! Great work mane. Very nice. Talk to you soon
Thank you sir. Sounds good mane. See ya soon
How about seeing your PMs, lolol. Later, QD.See ya soon
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
Cheya!!!!
that thing is lowwwww.....looks good
Looks cool judging from the pics, the thing is extra low!
yeah guys, fat fives = 15"
Leisa and S. 4 Life NM?
looks good man, damn that thing is LOW.. i like the color, good choice.. some wheels now and you are set.. 15in D2s would look good depending on what color you go with IMO..
Thanks man. I have always been a fan of your coupe too. We need to get a lil shoot together sometime. I was thinkin of maybe the bronze ones, or color matchin them with the paint. IDK. Yea, its def not the best ride, but thats the price ya gotta pay.
Thanks man, yea we should do that for sure.. Shit clean EJ1/2s seem to be on the rise, yours, 1siccej2 and mine are holding it down right now.. that would be a sick shoot if we were to get that together somehow.. the bronze D2s would be a nice touch, color matched wouldn't be bad either.. Man, my old EJ1 was slightly lower than my current one and it hurt from time to time and i've even gotten stuck in places so i have a good idea what you dealin with..
