Yeah... it was, fun little car I should steal it back!

 

i miss messing with my 89 hatch. but its good to have 2 cars again

 

Haha..must be nice, I can't even afford one car I'd probably couldn't afford a Ruckus payment. I also miss messing with my Crx but I been messing with my Fit lately out of boredom.

 

haha. to me its not the same but i hate the payment

 

That looks incredible. Not something I would do to my car unless it was a last resort, but definitely passable for the "looking good" factor.

 

i would rattle can a car before doin that. vinyl can tear/chip easily so that would be my first concern, then there is yellowing if its white vinyl

 

DUDE!!! what happened to your old REX?!

 

and spray paint doesnt chip? if you rattle can a white car it starts to turn brown from the dirt

 

I sold it to get the Fit, Sold it to some dude in Savannah, Ga.

 

There's plenty of cars that have wrapped their whole cars. The guy said there is a 5 year guarantee and you can still wash/wax it so I don't see the big deal. Props to the guy for taking all that time doing that and looks good for the amount he spent.

 

oracal ftw !!! looks sweet !

 

if he had more experience doing this im sure it would have looked even better

 

NOW i can make that harlequin fit i always wanted

 

i never got into that style. looks just as bad as that phaze 2 hatch bay

 

i wonder... can the regular paint under the vinyl be ruin? if you try to remove the vinyl later on..

 

not sure man

 

$350 to paint your car? Id never...

If your paint job doesn't cost over 3K then your not getting anything great unless your getting hookups.

I hate to say it but price does determine how well your car is painted. Give the guy $800 bucks hell cut corners where ever he can and be lazy on the final stages of wet sanding buffing and polishing if he decides to do it all. Give the shop $5000 and theyll give you the best possible paint job ever and wipe your car down with baby diapers afterwords.

Pay $2500 - $3500 and you expect good to great.

An avg shop will charge $55 - $70 an hr for paint / body labor. And to paint the fit (great job) would be about 50 hrs - 60 hrs.

Excellent show car job.... Over 100 hrs.

 

thinking of vinyl wrapping my rear diffuser instead of painting...

 

Why do people have to be so negitive.....fuck.
....you dont know unless u see it in person....msy look decent..i know someone who dpes paint jobs in his garage..with spray bombs... But they come out nice bc he tskes his time.. Uses good quality paint. And wet sands it and buffs it when its done...but people are ignorant and they assume spray bombs. Always look bad
