    Default Before and After Spray paint. EF Content =p.

    Just did a little paint work on the EF, did it in a few hours and with 15 bucks in spray paint. Let me know what you guys think.


    Before
    :










    Inbetween:







    AFTER:












    Also did the Valve cover while we were at it.






    This is by no means a professional job, just thought the car would look alot better white, so we took action, but being broke, we took action with rattle cans =D. Anyways, let me know what you guys think of the job!


    Also, Thinking about painting the spoiler black, along with the back/front bumper trim.

    The Hood isnt primer btw, its actually painted black, but we left the hood like that, Imo it looks better than if the car was all white, but to each his own, we just wanted it to kinda go with the wheels.

    For sure.

    I have to say that those wheels look pretty bad in black. And the hood doesn't make it look better. I don't care for white or black wheels, but between the two, the white looked better on that car. Then the hood being white would match up well. If the hood not being primer, it looks unfinished.

    Now I know that you have an unfounded dislike for me and will take my posts as bashing, but I'm not. You asked for opinions and I'm just giving mine in a respectful way. Later, QD.

    I dont take your posts as bashing, and I respect your opinion, thats why I posted the thread. I dont care about the whole "Unfounded dislike" or anything like that, its all in the past, so whatever, I do appreciate the opinion. The car is not finished yet, the color of the car/rims, etc may change in the future, just looking at what people have to say.

    I'd paint the wheels and the hood too! flat black is probably one of the ugliest colors IMO. clean up the taillights and the emblems as well!
    I do have to say it looks alot better than it did.

    wouldve looked better if the hood and side moldings wouldve been painted white and if the wheels were silver or grey instead of black..

    PAINT THE HOOD! Take this from a guy who has owned a B&W car, you get tired of seeing it two different color and it really limits your wheel options, b/c you already have two different color (shades, for you technical ppl) going on, plus it just looks cleaner in one color
