Oh yeah, I know. Turbo, yadda yadda. My CRX isn't a regular CRX either.

My Civic may even beat him.

i guess he was. the paint sticks fine on mine

thanks steve. if i just had more time

Were his bumpers flat black or painted before? If they were just flat plastic, then sure, your auto paint will go on it... just dont touch it or tap into anything... it'll crack... unless you put flex in the paint, and use a good plastic adhesion promoter, as well as a flexible primer.

nah, they were painted before. he just sanded them smooth.

wait... so he painted ALREADY painted bumpers with krylon fusion!?!? Krylon Fusion is meant for BARE PLASTICS... Its popular with ATV's on plastics.

okay, lets begin.

his front bumper + custom lip were plain plastic. he primered them and then krylon'd them. his side skirts are already black, since they are from a cavi z24. his rear bumper is actually 2 tercel bumpers put together. one right side up, one upside down but trimmed. its really sweet how he did it. that was sanded/krylon'd. im just going to tell him to sand them all down, and lay a nice primer before he paints them with WR blue.

the hood is bent.

 

[Celerity]

Your hood is bent ?

That bodykit thing is actually pretty creative. That's Earl Engineering at it's finest. Remember Jack's front bumper?

yeah in the middle just a bit. thats my err though. also, that fender isnt perfect where the weld is. its kindof at a point where they meet.

hes pretty good. i taught him everything he knows his front lip if off an oldsmobile alero.
