I wanted to do every last thing myself on this car, but for the paint I just didn't have the experience, time, or tools to do it the way it needed to be done, so I sent it to a friend.

With the rubber trim that goes around that window taken out, it isn't gonna make any difference at all. If it would, I would have taken them out.

I must have missed something because I don't remember you having a RHD hatch. ??? Did you move to Japan with Frank? :1

I didnt realize u could replace the molding without taking the glass out. when i painted my crx i had to remove the back windows too replace the moldings.

Re: Paint: check.
 
yeah a buddy did it that way.....never went back on right... they are installed before the window goes in...

how much did your friend charge ? and experience ? you paint house's for a living coulda jsut used a roller nog !

MikeJ-2009 09-23-2007 03:24 PM

Re: Paint: check.
 
I haven't reinstalled the rear moulding pieces, but if it's the case that I need to take the window out to get them to sit right, I will. I thought you were talking about them not covering the paint.

I'll save the dollar amount, but painting cars requires a fat air compressor, a nice gun (2 would be better), and a place to spray with ventalation. I don't need any of that ---- to paint a house. :6 On top of not having time because I'm painting houses like woah.

Just brought the little slut back home tonight. It's hard to see the bronze of the color in the pictures, but in person it makes the color.

This is the same amount of wires you'll see when it's all said and done.

i dig it, is the cage painted the same color?.. color matches cages are sex to me :)

MikeJ-2009 10-06-2007 10:13 AM

Re: Paint: check.
 
The inside will be black. Color matched sounds a little hot import nights for me.

Wasn't that your original intention? To make it a show car right? I've got a better camera and i'll get it to capture the bronze son!

So its been done for 2 years now? ^-^

Let me know when you're ready for that thing to be finished and I'll buy it from you ;)

nice. That oem TL paint must have been pricey. Oem colors look much better IMO, I can't stand the colors that the "cheapo $59.99" paint jobs come with.
