Matts96HB's EJ6 Build

[austin20110]

Thanks man, its not even cut n buffed yet so hopefully it will look even better after that and some painted bumpers lol

Thought you got that out of the way already lol.
What kind of compounds are you using, 3M rubbing compound for cutting and some good polish for that shine lol??

If you havnt bought any yet pm me I can turn you onto some pretty good stuff, I detail cars so I know what I'm talking about... atleast a little bit lol.

 

[philyphreak2127]

Yeah 3m Machine Glaze and Heavy Cut compound.. I just dont have the patience for cutting and buffing, ive already sanded so much that I reeally dont wanna put in the effort. and I'd like to see good results so I figured a shop would be best? lol

Sanding and buffing is the pudd part. Getting a body as straight as yours is the hard part, especially when going black.

[Matts96HB]

We just replaced the clutch, third gear synchro, axle seals, brakes, sunroof, etc. It needed some work lol, work I did not notice when he bought it..

 

[Matts96HB]

Picked up a set of mint GSR Fat Fives today. Paint in process. I'll post pics when I'm done. I love these wheels, stoked to see them on the Civic!

 

[Matts96HB]

Bump for new to me GSR front seats.. Getting them re-covered, then in the car along with the fat fives.. I am gonna love the way this thing looks.

 

[Luis998]

I'm moving to Spokane. That way I'll have someone to talk to face to face about all of this. Nice job, Matt.

Haha this is a buddy of mine, he drives a turbo'd LS-VTEC EH2

 

[Matts96HB]

Almost forgot, pics up soon of the engine bay I painted for my buddy and also my gunmetal fat fives

 

[Matts96HB]

Bay that I just finished up last night, my buddy's 92 hatch

Shaved

Fat Fives - was gonna go gold/bronze but decided to stick with the tried n true gunmetal. Primed, based, cleared, not single stage. Somewhat dirty already from overspray from my buddy's car. Fail.

 

[efhondakid]

Is that foil I see? The bay looks good mang, and clay block will take the shit right off those wheels.

Yessir, its part of the masking haha. You'd be surprised at how well it works for larger stuff. Easier than taping everything, plus most of the stuff seen is going to be recovered, so we figured we could be a little lazy

Yea I'm gonnna cut and buff them and see what they look like.. damn overspray

 

[GlassHeadlights]

I was going to buy a set of mint fat fives from a local guy but I low balled him thinking I was so clever and they sold. I'm pissed now.

Also Matt, were you taught to paint or self-taught?

Yeah I picked mine up for $300, and they're mint. I think I did ok.

Pretty much self taught with some help from my dad..
