So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

Turned out better than i hope..............but still looks like crap

First of all i'd like to comment on the front end conversions and taillight conversions......yes, i know they shouldn't be done but this was back in the days (01) of big fat double-decker wings on top of hatches so compared to that, i don't think this is so bad....

So the magical ingredients are:

Sand with 320 grit paper, 2 coats of of primer followed by wetsanding, 3 coats of White paint, the third coat of white really made it look nice and even....and last 2 coats of clear.

Cost: About $150 for shitloads of rattlecans, bondo, fiberglass, and other misc. supplies.

Oh yah, i molded my front lip because it got hit on the freeway by a frisby(??? or something that looked like it) and my lip just cracked in half. So i was sanding down the fiberglass and MAN! that ---- is hard to sand!......halfway through sanding i got lazy and just painted over it even though its still very much uneven.

Rattlecans are expensive, and look cheap.

Housepaint is cheap, and looks expensive.

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

one expensive rattle can job, but it looks hekka better than before. Nice job, oh and the taillight conversion is an interesting one. If you had some inners to match the outters, it wouldn't look so bad. The different "plastics" kill it, maybe some painted altezzas :P

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

---- me... That's the worst EG / EK conversion i've evar seen!

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

your car is a mess. give me those headlights

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

Jesus, I thought my car was bad. That makes my car look like a champ.

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

The ass is hideous, but I like em tities. Good job.

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

Hey it looks better then it did so thats all that counts. The only gripe i got is you should just take the 92-95 lights out and put blanks in there ans then paint it all or fit the newer style in there. Other then that its better then most cars that run around here. Damn high school punks thinking they are the fastest ---- out here and its just the fart can on the back thats makes them believe they are speeding :3

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

No it doesn't. :8

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

at least the ----------er is turboed :-\

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

Yeah, and that paint ain't bad, the body...not so much. Could've rolled it for about a 1/3 of the cost though.

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

:-X

Looks good though man. You did a nice job with the rattlecan job ;)

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

as a eg lover I would kick you strait in the testicals if I was to meet you in person.

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

The paint job looks not too shabby by lookin at the pictures. Good job!

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

THIS is a good conversion.

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

^ That kind of reminds me of the new Civic hatch's, with the shape of it. 8)

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

Hot money that car is pimp! I've never seen that conversion done before (I live in a cave with my eyes closed and my hands over my ears) How tricky is that conversion? Do you have to modify a bunch of stuff or just fit the newer body panels onto it?

anyway to the original poster- Regardless of any styling ques people might question you for, your car looks 1,000 times better than it did. Formerly it looked like a high school dudes unfinished project that he gave up on, at least now it looks like you take some sort of pride in your car. Good work.

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

I agree.I know you said it was done back in the day but nothing seems to line up :-\.And the tail light conversion is just useless. :S

But the paint job look sgood :D

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

I probably have, but mistook it as a faggot bodykit and promptly forgot about it.

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

it doesn't look bad (the red one that is) i might do that to my car :)...we have a del sol with a ek front end on it...but its all body kitted and bagged

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

I've probably seen your car, Mario, but I promptly forgot about it. :P

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

Becareful posting locations up on message forums, the horsepowerjunkies.com guys are covered up with cops because of that.

I'll be in Raleigh this weekend, but one of the two after that I could probably swing down with one of the guy's cars; either the Black Car or the White Car.

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

My mom always said "if you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all." So I'll be nice. :-X

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

cops let us hang out...we got the ok :)

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

We have the okay for a certain strip of five lane, after 2 am on the weekends.

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

cool...the cops watch us...and if u act stupid...its a big ticket lol

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

I dont think it's that bad for a DIY. The after paint is better then the before paint.

That charge pipe is hwatness. :X

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

Yah the lines don't line up but thats because i got into a car accident and i did a ghetto job pulling everything out myself instead of having a shop reweld a rad support and new fenders and stuff....and as for the conversion, yah i regret it but oh well, its not like i can get my money back haha

this is what it used to look like when i first got the conversion done:

Wow i wish my car looks like that red civic......Maybe it would've if i hadn't gotten into so many accidents

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

you paid $1600 for that pos?

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

b18c korean pride?????

its looks alright, good job on the paint. at the least delete those inner tails and leave the outer, that would be interesting. bc right now it just looks stupid. now about the headlights with the blue tint, whats the deal with that? i've seen that so many times but never really understood it. does it create a blue beam? is it sprayed on or made like that?

and that red one is beautiful, nice color red too. although i would never do that conversion.

Re: So I rattle canned my car white last week.....
 

Seems like he bought it on 2000 or 2001ish, not a bad price back then if it ran well.
