So here's my dillema(sp?) I have the $ for my paint job set aside already, should I put my car in the shop, get the radiator support fixed so my grill,headlights and everything else is flush like it's supposed to be or do I live with the 1/2" offset on the passenger side headlight(it's pushed in about a 1/2" on the high beam side), and the same offset on the grill, and get the whole car painted? Right now the car is bordeaux red pearl, the hood, passenger fender and bumper are black. So what's it gonna be, everything flush and even, with black bumper, hood and fender, or slight offset of headlight and grill w/fresh paint job? Paint would be same as the car in my sig(that's why it's in my sig for those who think im trying to front )

 

what is wrong with the paint now? if nothing....get the shat fixed.

 

I've got misc dents, dings and scratches, as well as black hood, fender and bumper, the rest of the car is bordeax red pearl

 

.5" aint that bad. paint it.

 

I just hate it when I notice something is wrong with my car, it bugs the hell out of me. But yeah, it's not like im driving around w/the headlight held on with a bungee cord or nothing, I was thinking to just paint it too, then get a part time job to fund the "94Uhkord Fix-up fund."

 

i agree, plus, you always do that part later

 

get it done right the first time or you will regret it

 

see if they can hook you up with fixing dents, pulling frame with the paint job.........also some of the body work you can try yourself, ex door dings, and save money that way.
shop around for paint places as well

 

Good info:thumbup: Yeah man, the shop I'm getting it painted at hooked me up with the bodywork for basically nothing, only $50 to remove all dents,dings and scratches, they won't mess with the radiator support though, I already asked them I already got my quotes and stuff and I chose them for the cost, quality of work and turn around time. I think im just gonna get it painted and worry about the radiator support after I get a supplement to my income.

 

hey man, you showed me picks of how flawless you civic was. Do it too your accord so that later on you won't kick yourself in the ass for not getting it done. After all the work your putting into her, you owe it too yourself to make her perfect since you've been putting in a lot of DIY. fix it. you'll thank yourself later.
