Spring Time Prelude Update!! (and my other cars)
Wednesday, May 03, 2006 7:28 PM
Last spring I paid a shop to paint my front bumper and ground effects. I wasnt happy with the job they did, and they redid it. The color match wasnt very good, but i settled for it. After putting 6K miles on the car the paint was chipping off like crazy.

Well i took matters into my own hands and I just got done painting it a few weeks ago.

I repainted the ground effects, front and rear bumpers, shaved the holes on the trunk lid and painted it, and took care of the rust on the wheel wells and a few dents in the quarter panel. I spent about 6 hours (and 16 spray out cards lol) just trying to match the color. Its a ton better than what i paid to have the shop do. After about a week shes good as new.

tell me what ya think!




Can you see my sunfires original bumper in the background of this picture, haha.






And for times sake, my first baby. (Sold)




And my most recent hellish project....the Turboed SE-R.





My new ball bearing turbo.

I typically don't like Preludes, but I think you did a very good job. It looks really nice.

Yeah just a matter of me having time to get it all back together. 18 credit hours of school and 40 hours of work, leave me with little motivation to work on my car, and do it right.
