Shadow91 : 1992 Accord EX

[Shadow91]

Well guys it 'bout time i make a members ride. As some of you may know I bought this car from 91kid after he decided he was looking more for a wheeler then a 'play car'

Ive done 90% to this car for him because im way more patient and he was going under the knife for shoulder sugary. Well now shes mine. =) I have huge hopes and plans for her down the road and she is my DD

My old 10th ann that i regret selling

Pictures of the day we brought her home..



Ugly ass car but it had a good price on it and it was an EX 5speed!

Well we had decided real quickly that something needed to be done about the multi colored car.. So a trip to walmart and $86 dollars later we ended up with a solid Blue rattle canned accord.



Tape removed


OEM fogs, prelude side markers, CD5 rear markers, OEM wing and splash guards later...


Added ground controls

[wildBill83]

Good recovery.

[Shadow91]

Thanks for the comments! I kinda hate the blue.. but it wasnt my car orginally so i had no say at the time, just helped spray it. Haha. I think i'll do Seattle Silver in the summer. =)

Cleaned up the first post and had a chance to take some pictures today.





Thought this was cool








Yeah yeah, These are all on the iPhone.. I just got a Canon XS30IS that im too stupid to use..

I'd say that turned out pretty well for a rattle can job and the blue is sorta cool, but if you have a maroon interior then that's a different story.

Rattle can looks good, I like it man good work! Love how she sits as is!

I think that is what kills it for me. The red and the blue just are so bad together. Haha.. I really wanna go frost white with it i think...


Reppin the site

O man I was gunna do this to my wagon already have the blue rustoleum cans and some primer, need more though. But It looks good man great job!\

What do you think about spraying cans of clear "gloss" to finish it? I was thinking that would give it a professional look instead of a spray can look. You can tell it was spray canned even though it looks good with the gloss already in the blue paint. It needs more though!

How much practice did you have with spray cans to get it that good? I am a beginner with cans.

[Shadow91]

This was my first time ever doing anything like this. And it was kinda like a hey were bored and that thing is UGLY, lets paint it! Haha

I didn't clear it tho, because its going to get resprayed this summer properly.

I've seen rattle can jobs look damn good tho. With enough patience and prep work you can get it 80% for a fraction the cost of a professional job

Got some Rimz!!

Picked these up for cheap! Lovin them!

Nice wheels. What size are they? One-piecers look good as well.

[Shadow91]

17 inch ADR M-Sport Wheels

I love my one piecers

[F20A CB7]

Not bad looking for spray can job.

[Wickit]

Lookin even better man those wheels look great on her! One piecers flow nicely as well
