    I got the first coat of primer on the quarter panel last night, I am not sure what to do now, should I try to match the paint or just do the entire car matte black???

    painted my valve covers as well.

    here are some pics :biggrin:

    id try to paint match it...ive done it in the past with rattle cans..although it was white paint you really could not tell the difference..that was with no clear coat and it just looked like the fender was a lil cleaner than the rest of the car.

    How did you fix the rust? I hope you ground/cut it all out, otherwise it will be back.

    That was a test. I'm pretty sure any and every thread on the site that mentions a honda includes at least one StatGSR post.

    I know. Shame on me. I'll just go bury my head in the sand somewhere. Maybe down at Hiniker Pond ;)



    But wait, I have to finish my Pro E stuff first. Dammit!

    lol. I'd hazard a guess that you weren't the target of that statement.

    YES, I cut all the rust out and yes, its not perfect but it will get me through as many winters as I will want to drive it!

    now, rustoleum.... I dont want a gloss black car, too much work....

    maybe matte if I decide to go black, but if I do paint the entire car I was thinking Pewter or WHITE

    Nice. Lets race. I'll need a few car lengths in the sunfire. And you have to disconnect your brakes.

    nice looking body work so far. FYI: if you want to color match, Welle Auto Supply will mix your color (based on trim codes) and put it in a rattle can for you. I did this once and the color was very close. It would be pretty easy to get it to match with some blending.
