Painted Fangs and Valance
 

I did it with the help from simota1 and Minicobra1's DIY.
It was very easy and it came out great.
I was quoted $400+ to do them.
Tried them out and dished out $30 and 6+ hours
I'm happy with the results.

I'll touch it up using a fine brush, but over all a decent job for a noob.

It came out pretty good kid!

:iagree:

Nice job.

Thanks a lot! It was fun to do.

Lookin' good :tup:

Let's see some outdoor shots from further away!!

Tomorrow!!! :D The garage is cramped.
Thanks for the compliment. :tup:

nice man! I think it needs some tattoos now Lol! what brand of paint did you use for the clear and where did you buy it? cuz im going to do this but just want to go for a good brand.

Thanks for the info. I really like the back like that and have been pondering doing it myself. What kind/brand of paint did you use?

Thanks guys,
The materials I used was Krylon Fusion for plastic [Flat] and Krylon Clear [Flat]
3 THIN coats of Flat. Let it have 20 min interval to dry.
2 coats of Clear [I found that the clear evens out the paint pretty good]

Good luck!
It's easy! The hard part is masking it and making the lines perfect.
If it doesn't go too well, you can always redo it or use a fine brush to touch it up!

Thanks man same paint i used for my headlights!
+rep Gunzero.

Thanks Quag. Gigidi alllllrighhhht!
I'm too scared to do the headlights!

Can you post more pics of the back?

Sure man, I'll take pics after school. :]

Even though you are, at times, a useless addition to this forum, you have proven yourself to be quite handy. I'd expect nothing less from you. Lookin' good. ;)

Do you have more pics of the finished wheels?

:rofl2:

I agree. It really did come out nice, I was thinking this thread was gonna be full of fail but I'm pleasantly suprised.

looks great bro :D

Thanks all. Here are more photos.

VERY well done!

If you plan on keeping the stock brakes I'd spray the calipers flat black. :)

Yooo thanks man. I was scared the lines were going to be jagged and retarded.
I used this to mask the lines. It is good to get clean lines and contours the curves really well.

Also, I unmasked while the paint was a little wet. Don't know if that helped, but that's what I did.

Good job. Rep for you.

yep, good masking job. looks good.

it does help but if you pull too soon the paint can potentially stretch like hot glue and string. so good job again not having to deal with that.

Looks really good.

Scuff.........?
 

It really looks great. I just did somewhat the same thing. But I installed a painted JP Lip also at the same time. BTW, did you scuff the areas that were to be painted?

:tiphat:

.

Gunzero, I'm an idiot!

Looks great Gunzero...nice job bro!!!

Thanks a lot for the compliments guys!
I'm not a car literate person, but reading this forum has helped me a bunch.

@mspeasl: Yea! I scuffed it. The spray paint said no prep/sanding needed for plastics, but I did it anyways just to be sure :)
@z34guy: Ah man, Thanks for your concern :] People can flame me all they want, but they don't bother me. I have a life. Compliments are appreciated and I will remember them :]!

The car definitely looks WAY better with this. It's not so rounded. Breaks the lines up really good and highlights the curves more. The back is a big improvement, not so fat anymore. The front just looks sick. However, I need the bottom chin spoiler :p If anybody has one they want to get rid of send it to me!

Good attitude! Car is looking good btw :tup:


BTW I am shocked z34 didnt say anything about your wheels (check painted stocks thread for reference lol)

lookin good! and whatever u do dont go with Injen CAI as your next mod. Its one of the lowest quality brands and only belong on Hondas!..and oh yea no spacers either:bowrofl:

Thanks a lot. I'll read up on how to do the headlights.. :p
I need a job!!!

Haha thanks for the warning. What about spacers? :[

LOL!

Your car really is looking great, Gun. Headlights in black will be sweet!

Nothing man just an inside joke about a member who shared his great knowledge with us about cheap parts lol. u from El Paso?

Nice work. I can't wait to do mine this weekend.

I never, ever thought I would do this but I'm gonna have to rep you duder. It really does look nice and I like the rims too. +1

:happydance:
