Rennie's 1993 EG Civic Coupe, Car Cosmetics

[iRennieBear]

Hello everyone. (( SORRY IT WAS MENT TO BE HATCHBACK))

This has been me first time ever with doing cosmetics to a
car. And i am very proud to say it was my Honda EG as-well.

This is also my everyday car.

Through out this process i have had my Partner with his
Integra that is well known in Tasmania as " SINNER",
And his brother with his prelude "GUIL7Y" Also give me
tips and help through out.
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[iRennieBear]

So once i finished the outside it was time to start on the outside
Their was paint chips out the bumpers, the lacker of the the red
paint was coming off and their was lots of damage that the previous
owner tried to hide with filler.

So my color scheme was black and purple and with a low study
income i decided i wanted it two toned with black at the bottom
and purple carbon vinyl on the top. which lead to many arguments
with the partner wither it was going to look good or like poop.
and i kept pushing that it will look well.

All in all i spent 10 hours trying to vinyl the car
making sure bubbles were not in it etc etc i loved
the experience but their were many frustrating moment within its process.

So the photos below are of the process i went through :)

[iRennieBear]

I have done many art classes myself and have a deplomia in
visual arts and photography.

to do with a base coat,paint, then the top coat.

so ill be doing the pipe and radiator myself.

[kcokla]

how did you retrim it in black vinyl ? or did you just spray it ?

[iRennieBear]

how did you retrim it in black vinyl ? or did you just spray it ?

i only sprayed it, the purple mid section of front doors was fabric purple vinyl

which i popped out the mid section
then adhesive glue on the plastic and the back of the fabric.
then just shaped constantly until it was correct.

After its set i used scissors to tidy up the fabric
then with a hot glue gun glued the plastic back
to the original tabs :D

[iRennieBear]

Ouch' :( UNSUB......
unsub ? sorry i dont know what that means lol

[iRennieBear]

yeah i dont worry considering this car was built six years ago :) and has 15 + awards for best : paint, interior etc etc. It was good taste back then.
it's mostly an example of abilities to do things with the creative side, all done by him self in his own shed as i am doing with my civic :D.

Cannot please everyone haha.

Couple days ago we lowered my civic
With new shocks
and adjustable springs... I was pulled over by police for a liesence,rego check and had the
transport check over its lowness and they said good job and to make sure it doesn't scrub lol.

This is the first adjustment due to Tasmania doesn't have the best roads lol

Where did you get the vinyl from?

[iRennieBear]

Where did you get the vinyl from?

[Snoop_gee]

Where did you get the vinyl from?

you could always try a melbourne company..
There is a lot of cool matte colours but everyone is still going the matte black! Considering this is a yellow Camaro, the matte black makes it go much tougher and he can just peel it off when he is over the colour.

These are some shots of Steve Nogas' matte black wrapped Camaro known as KILLA-B. It was unveiled in July at MotorEx and has been built purely as a burnout car! You can see the feature story on it by FreeStyle Rides (http://freestylerides.com/steve-nogas-killa-b-camaro.htm)
