Oh, and yes this is my personal car that I honestly never cared for, but I thought I'd use it as a test project before the rover and my '53 Chevy truck. The shots some of you show of "really bad" jobs you get pretty much explain my car!

First of all, thank you to all of you who are willing to show and share your process to help those like me who have no idea what they are doing. Secondly, Please forgive the lack of images, as I was just testing tonight to see what I could get my 07 civic to finish out to. This is 8 or 9...

Way to rock the Missouri S&T(or for us old timers, UMR) shirt@ Couldn't tell on the right side of the hood, but once you switched over, it was clearly evident! Nice work, as always. How do you find Honda paint? I've looked at the chart, but I've not done this before, so I wanted your opinion...
