Default Looking for "brushed aluminum" looking teg or civic PIC

Is it someone on here? It's obvoius that I visit too many forums, because I can't rememer which one I saw the picture on. But, in a nutshell It was an Integra (or a civic, both were pictured, can't remember which one had the paint job) and it looked almost as if the paint job was brushed aluminum, or metal.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Probably not, we care more about whats under the hood than whats on the outside

yeah, same here, I'm trying to find it for a friend who has already beefed up his motor/suspension/brakes. He's a lot farther along and has more money than most, so at this point, he's ready for custom paint

Go buy a delorean if you want that look then you can get the snazzy gullwing doors too. Otherwise just completely sand your car do to the bare metal and clear coat it.

I did a small section of the "brushed finish" on one of my old minitrucks. All you do is remove all the paint from the metal area (has to be metal, no plastic or fiberglass) and run a wire brush across it a few times to scratch it in. Clear coat overtop like it was paint and you're done.
