my painted Honduh

[Benjamin]

well a while back i bought scooby's Honda and have been driving it as my beater car.... done nothing but routine maintenance to it....but i did put new 2 1/2" manifold back exhaust on it with a resignator and a muffler, adjustable coil overs and now it was time for a paint job... i know ya'll saw my truck... and it was a long drawn out process but it had to be perfect..... this was a job to just make it shiney.... and smooth (hoping for a MPG increase...lol...) any way I painted and prepped this car and this is the first car i've ever painted..... sorry about the pics being so small but i took them with my crappy camera fone..... what do ya'll think?

Both... it was a faded cream color before now it is Fleet White.... it's alot brighter than i thought it would be.... but it'll have to do....

EDIT: this car was pulled in the shop last night and pulled out today.... has to be a record for a full paint job out of this shop.... the quality, ie dings dents etc, isn't up to par.... but it's my beater and i have a total of <$60 in the paint.... so it'll have to do....

Yes sit it is.... i found an old Folgers can and wrapped it with tin foil.... naw really it's a :rice: TYPE R something.... haha.... the only reason i put it on is cause it has an adjustment on the tip where a baffle can be opened or closed.... it is closed now just trying to keep it quieter than it was.... still sounds quite ricerish but at cruising rpm's it is quite quiet and has very little drone..... i can accually hear the cd player.......
