Lol not gonna lie I did ponder about a prelude for a while but i decided not to haha. This is not the first car I "rebuild" my brother had an accident in his Altima SE-R i think it was about 2 years ago and I also brought it back to life. This was about 2 years ago so i really sucked at taking pics haha. I have done some bodywork I just don't trust myself to paint. That and I don't have all the resources to do everything right.

If you have a compressor, a gun and quality paint it just takes practice. It's actually one of the easier things to learn. I actually painted my motorcycle with spraypaint and it looked outstanding, but the trick was the quality of the paint. House of Kolors used to sell small cans of model paint and I LOVED the tangerine. It came in steps, so you just had to make sure to follow them and be patient between sanding and drying.
White primer, silver flake base coat, candy tangerine top coat and enough clear to make it glassy.it looked SO good.

The reason I say its the paint quality is cuz quality paint seems to level itself much better than krylon which will just dry as drips. Good paint will too if you build it up to much, but there seems to be much less room for error.

You should practice on some stuff if you have the means. Pretty cool skill to have when you need it.

Just worked on it today for about half an hour. I will be taking it to the body shop any minute so I put the steering wheel on to be able to steer it.
