I personally do not mind rattle can for parts in the engine bay, but not for exterior. Use a spray gun. Sand down everything, obviously, especially the corners because if you do not get the corners or ridges sanded down good enough there is a good possibility of it chipping there more than on your panel. If you can access a spray gun, do light even coats spraying side to side. It is more of an art to be able to apply a nice paint job. Good luck!.
 
I have a gun and an air compressor but I'm just wondering if it's harder to use. Doesn't matter because I'm going to do some practice sprays.
 
Just be absolutely sure you get your mixtures right. Are you going to be doing this outside? Or in an area that the temperature can be controlled?
 
My dad bought new front brakes for the red sedan so we can sell it soon. :) Hey Matt, are you're parents interested?

My fuel rail came in today. I put it in and I still have a vacuum leak, I'm getting a new manifold. To make it work I had to get a longer return line and a fuel line nut off of a D15B2, works great now. I SO wish I didn't break this one. :(

I bought this paint today...it says no mixing required and ready to spray.

I've been studying the difference between jdm and usdm. looks like where the usdm dips in in the middle of the hood, the jdm would have bumped up. the corner lenses look shorter on a jdm? thus different fenders... this is all on a crx, so it may be different for the civic. I can't seem to find a real legit Si-R.
 
The corners are the same except the little arm that you screw on to the headlight bracket itself. It seems to be a bit longer than ours.

The fenders are the same USDM and JDM. The only thing is the factory side marker cuts.

headlights are longer, corner lights are different for the civic, and the turn signals on the front bumper are longer too..
 
Those are some sweet rims!!. I have a suggestion or recommendation rather. I used Red Loctite on the piece I broke off my manifold and it worked perfect. The piece was smaller than 1" cubed.
