my accord..the transformation begins

[h22a accord]

Hey all, as some of you may know my car got pelted by hail and has got 140 something little dents all over it so the opportunity has arrived for a whole new look for my accord :-)

Its gonna be at the smash repairer for over a month getting straightened, the aerial and side rubbing strips shaved, full bodykit fitted and a full respray in a colour so loud and bright you wont miss it!


I'll keep you updated...

[nickiipoohz]

good on ya cams... man wished i shaved my aerial.. didnt even think about it at the time *doh*

[Delta_One]

How much do you think that will all come too?
Or will insurance cover it?

[h22a accord]

Insurance aint gonna cover it all but im getting a good cheque from them to go towards it. I guess its going to cost what ever it costs, theres an old saying " you get what you pay for" Im fortunate that the panel shop doing it is a good customer of mine ( we detail a lot of cars for them) and they arent going to rip me off.

heres a teaser of the colour im thinking of.

Ohh alright, Good on ya then.

I like the colour very much!!

[BiLL|z0r]

I say sell it, save and buy what's in the pic :)

[smoknhothonda]

mmm that would certainly be a unique colour, it looks good on the new falcons, would be interesting to see your 5th gen that colour!!!

May I ask what bodykit you are getting, and roughly how much teh respray is going to set you back.

From what I have quoted a good quality custom respray with kit is 10k, using top quality paint like house of kolor o, PPG or spies n hecker etc

Hmm i damn hope its not one of the Viva Garage kits, man they look crude!!!

Good luck with it all, and PM me what bodykit you are getting ;)

[yfin]

ooh man that is going to be a bright accord! Are you sure about that colour?

[PNR888]

That colour will make your Accord highly visible and safe in the night.

I assume the dents from hail storm are too big to be fixed by the suction method.. so they have to penal them out?

[eurosp]

h22a, have you though about the dark goldish color that you can see on Holden?

[Spoon-Accord]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
tiga mica orange?

no offence to anyone!!!

i reckon.. dont go for a stand out color cam..

go for something thats smooth! :P

[krasyvy]

Not a big fan of the colour, i'd prefer black, will look really sleek

[nickiipoohz]

or get champion white.... :D

[aDe]

[Usual Suspect]

Lol be careful what u say about tiga orange, isnt toe's car that colour?

All white. I luv white cars.

[h22a accord]

I basically want a colour thats easy to look after and looks good even when dirty- hence why its going yellow.It might not be the exact yellow of the ford pic i posted but either way it will be yellow.

Not sure if its going to be a lemon yellow like the rx-8's or a pearly yellow like the lamborghini gallardo. Also thinking of PPG chrome yellow with a candy in it.

I like white cars but i would never paint a car white as when u have a choice of any colour in the world white isnt at the top of my list.

Black looks good but is a PITA to look after.

I dont want to paint it a 'fad' colour as 3 years after it will look so dated which is why i wont paint it pink haha. I figure yellow is fairly timeless.....maybe i should just paint it Integra type r yellow!

should look pretty hot wif a yellow paint job like the accord above , sports blue would also look hot, is the respray including in the engine bay too? i rekon u should red do the interior too to make it match that will looking farking hawt. like the accord above wif yellow and black leather seats

[h22a accord]

Not respraying the engine bay until i have to pull the engine out again- me and my mate are going to strip the whole interior as much of the exterior of parts except for the dash and steering wheel to save me some $$$ in labour- will give me a chance to give the interior a good detail- its overdue lol.

[aaronng]

Hehe, it sounds like a mission! All the best! Actually, a black engine bay is easier to keep clean. Unless it is a showcar, maybe the black engine bay is better.
