Any crows feet or chipping on the front end? Late model Honda paint quality is known to be....questionable. I have an 05 Accord with the rare 6 speed trans, low mileage and its starting to have crows feet in the front end as many other Honda models from 03+

I've owned a 2007 Si and didn't have that issue either, but I'm actively on the 8thcivic forum and there's allot of members with that problem. I know Honda had issued some kind of a recall for that I've read somewhere.

Hmmm interesting, yeah I did see the recall for the 8th gen civics, none yet (if ever) for the 7th gen Accords :/

Other then that pretty descent work OP :)
 
Great job!

I'll cross my fingers and hope my Fit doesnt get any crows feet.
 
Nice turnaround on the Fit. I am sure you made someone happy with that.

i think it was a service bulletin cause i seen it for my 2006 S2000 as well, thank you for the comment :xyxthumbs:
 
Nice work on the engine bay, looks new. That tends to shock people the most sometimes.

yea she said it looked better than when she first got it.
thanx for the compliment
 
Great job on the CBP for sure and yeah, Honda paint isn't the best for durability for sure, my 2010 Honda Fit sport chipped pretty easily and it was Orange Revolution and my 11' CR-Z chips but not quite as bad as the Fit did.

BTW, Meg's makes good stuff but I wouldn't limit myself to OTC products on soft paint, I don't.
