I present to you. my "Midori Green Pearl Integra" Just finished clearing it last night (illegally) but w/e..if u read Post #100 on my Paint built thread HERE you'll see why. anyways. we had to rush the the paint and we were gonna come back and touch a few spots up but idc anymore we were gonna get fine $5000 and go to jail probably. apparently it's illegal to paint your own car in "virignia" if u don't have a paint booth, a license to paint, and be ocean certified or some crap. anyways, we rushed thru it last night and put it back together today. looks pretty damn good i'd say. we still gotta buff the clear =] we painted the mirrors Black because they kept checking us so we couldn't use the air compressors anymore so we rattle canned them...i kinda like them black anyways. =]

so what do ya think? these night pics suck i will take more in the morning. I just thought i'd take a few teaser pics for ya =]

EDIT: May 28th, 2010 Day pics
DAY PICS!!! I Cleaned her up, Cleaned the Chromies, Shined up the tires. i still gotta clean the windows tho..





rims don't look that bad in person tho..i like them. but i AM gonna get something new tho. these rub like a mofoo...

Night pics: May 27th, 2010







This was my "first paint job" my friend shot the paint which actually shines it's ass off in the sunlight. i think we did pretty decent considering we almost went to jail lol. better than how it looked before.

lol well better than oversprayed steelies lol...yeah dude when you start searchin for some rims I think some gold would look ill on there. But thats shitty about the po po, I thought they were bad around me. Did you paint the side mirrors black or are they CF?

yeah rims are ehhh...look way better in person for some reason...

and mirrors are black, because we didn't get to shoot them in time before the cops came =[

but black looks okay to me..

by the law! of virginia, you gotta have a 1. Paint booth 2. Paint license 3. be osha certified or something crap like that, that makes u paint certified

saying "Legally" u can't paint your own car in Virginia, although someone snitched on us (maybe people down the streets or haters like we think) but we got it done...

and wheels are coming off, i just needed someone without overspray lol. plus i had to rock them at least once in my life, they are like BRAND new....and i've never mounted them...
