This is my car. you can also find me on car domain. it is completely spraypainted and i get good comments about my paint all the time. total cost for whole 3 tone paint=175-200 dollars

personally, the "right paint" costs way more than that and thats for one color.

How about taking a picture like a normal person... Like one that's not 2x3 and from 50 feet away?

I've seen some rattle cans jobs that looked perfect. A guy told me the best way t do it, if you have to do it, is do a couple more coats than necessary, let it cure for a month or so, then hit the whole car with rubbing compound. If I hadn't seen his being done, I wouldn't have believed it was out of the can.

my god, you know exactly what i mean. i did two coats of each color and let it cure through the winter. and then did another two coats, then gloss and wet sand.

This is actually my plans for the little bit of rust on the rears. I'm going to knock it loose, wirebrush it, and then bondo or glas it, sand it, prime it, get some factory cap brown in the can and feather it in. once it's cured, rub it out, clear it and be happy with it. lol

wow 2 years. wheeeew. i worked on cars both body and engine in school for 5 years in high school and honda school in windsor lock conn. and another 3 years in a honda dealership. i currently own and run our garage called fearless racing inc. so maybe you should read the title that clearly says "SPRAY PAINTING" and take your smart ass remarks to a child that cares.

i honestly would replace the metal with new small sheets, and a lil weld fab. trust me dude, u r gonna do all that work and its gonna rust through again in a year or 2.just lookin out for ya bro.

I've thought about it, but I don't even own a little stick welder. I'm just looking for a quick fix for a few years. The coupe has a couple dozen dings all over it from hail and parking lots, so I'm just doing a temp fix so it looks halfway decent until I find a less damaged body. If I get lucky in Vegas this January I plan on buying something rust free out there and driving it home!
Plus, the rust I have is mostly surface, less than 10 sq inches on one side, less than 6 sq on the other.

oh ok then. i thought u were worried about the whole look of the car. i got you now.
