project rsx orangeapeel

nosser · #1 11-29-2003, 10:31 PM

I decided to paint my rsx an orange-copper color but I could not find the right color. I almost bought an airbrush just for this but decided against it. I did paint my car sunburst orange. I'm not sure if I like quite yet. In the low light it has a red hue to it so I guess it's okay. I should finish it in a day or so to touch up and shine that baby up. hope you guys like it. This is only the beginning...

That is mighty fine work Nosser. It would be nice if my civc came out as nice as yours. Keep up the good work.

I am not very happy with the way my body came out. I wanted to see my reflection in the paint but I guess it's okay. I still have some details I want to work out. I'll take some pictures of the car outside tomorrow so you can see the real color.

Nice rims. Where did you get the chromies? And where did you get the metal nuts?

nosser · #11 12-02-2003, 06:41 PM

well the chrome rims came off an integra model. it came with three sets of rims and the metal lugs were extras from my mini z

Nosser have you tried to use a clear-gloss coating? When I painted my civic with flat orange, I sprayed the high-gloss coating and I was happy bout it. But as far as seeing your reflection, wanna try to wax your xmod?
