stoatman Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Cheers , I just used a bumper/platic paint. It drys quick and gives a good solid finish, Few coats with a light sand in between. Did not lacquer but dont know if this would be a good idea or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoatman Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 SO I finally got round to taking the other rail off and spraying that up , looks alot better now they are both black. In addition have fitted the new Aerodeck and Honda badges. In the pic is also the finisher which also looks cool and is now bolted on.Next steps are to pick up the recaro rails of Aki tomorrow and then get some accord tpe R seats from somewhere !.Fit new civic badge (just because I have it already) , take sideskirts off and spray with same paint as the rails. Also want to get alot of brake parts replaced and a couple of newer bits for the engine as outlined in a previous post.Any feedback welcomed.In hindsight you cant really see the badges , ill take a better pic tomorrow.

DAVEMB2 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 sounding good and it coming on nice 1"£££$££"!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoatman Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Cheers.Removed , painted and refitted one of my side skirts today. Again just went for black to keep the standard look. Was very surprised how easy they were to take off . I was also surprised how much hidden soil and mud can be under them !!. Must be about a half a kilo if I weighed it !. At one point the mud was a compact solid mass just at the front , grim stuff.Surprisingly, with a bit of a clean the body came up as new under there , very happy with that. Sprayed the side skirt and replaced it , breaking no clips in the process !. Its a massive improvement now just to do the other side .Pictures :Mud :Rail off :Cleaned :Replaced :Other Side as comparison :Better roof rail shot :badges :CheersI realise in hindsight im not actually modding this car but almost restoring it (apart from alloys) must be pretty boring to some. Maybe some more exciting mods in the future , especially the seats !!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
