After sliding my car into a pile of cinderblocks and wooden boxes, make that many piles of cinderblocks and wooden boxes, my car got an excellent treatment at a "1 Day Paint" shop...

From what I heard, they tried to color match my damage, but ended up doing this instead...










As you can see it's slightly gray and purplish at night and during the day it's brighter and almost baby blue... My guess is maybe they ordered a can of Vibrant Blue Pearl by accident and mixed it? Anywho I think it's great! No doubt it's a 1 day paint job but I'm still quite happy of the outcome

Opinions, feedback, and anything else welcome and appreciated!

 

Well my 1st question is did the cinder blocks and wooden boxes jump in your way? Or did the car go sideways when it wasn't supposed to?

Anyway, good paint job as far as I can tell. Hopefully it'll stay though. And stay away from those cinder blocks and wooden boxes that jump at you!

 

I'll leave you with a link explaining my unfortunate event...

Heheh... I had an idea of what you meant. Just teasing... Nice video though... but didn't see your Fit there... Be safe and happy motoring!

 

i'll be on there on an episode when it airs, i'll try to find out when

 

Serious? Cooool!!! Give us all a heads up when you find out.

 

I demand you refer to your vehicle as "Riptide Water Blue".

 

Auto Barrel Racing revisited?

I remember they were working on that a long time ago but it never aired?

Glad your car came out that nice from a 1 day. Looks good!

 

i like the new color. what width did you go with on the 949's?

 

I like that color, whatever it is haha. Hope the paint's good and stays like that

 

Yeah!

 

Nice color- they might have painted it Celestial Blue or another of the Honda grey/blue colors--it looks good.

 

Riptide Water Blue... NOT BAD! i was trying to debate a color name myself, I think I like this

I may have to see if it's possible to sand it down a little though, there is considerable orange peel.. and it also looks "semi-gloss" at certain angles, but I could lie to people and say I want that look. hahaha

I thought the color would be similar to the GE's Polished Metal Metallic but it's much more blue, it's definitely a one off color. Reminds me of the new Scion xB color, except I think that one is flat, mine is metallic.

My wheels are 15x9 with 225s. I was HOPING I could fit 245 tires but probably not

 

Haha! yeah 245's might be pushing it. I'm surprised the x9's/225's fit so well. what suspension/camber are you using? I was thinking about going x8/205's. still undecided on bronze or silver :|

 

Bronze! i rarely see people running bronze but I think it looks great! I probably would have gone with bronze except I got these off of a friend so I didnt have a choice. HAHA

I have buddyclub coilovers with I BELIEVE -3 camber up front and no adjustment to the rear

 

True that, but every pic i see online, the bronze colors are all different. some look darker and some are more goldish than others LOL We'll see..

Thanks for the info though.

 

Looks good.

 

lovin the wheels

 

Looks good Jason!

 

Looks good to meWhy didn't you have them paint the grille also
Luv those headlights too!
