Black Gloss paint

Gun metal grey paint

Matt black paint

Thanks for your input.

id probably go with black/matt black and spray the gloss over it when ur done and let it dry.

this will give it the glossy black look and i rekon that will look best because it will blend with the same colour as your car.

i did a matt black on mine i got high temp mattt black. matt colors seems to look more jdm-ish. i reckon.

[RYCivic]

high temp?


where did you get that from?

[DNYALL]

I did minein matt black, came out real good. But make sure the inside of your lens stays clean otherwise it will stay dirty for eva...mine is a little :(

na soz i want one similar to him

from wat i can see from ur pic.. ur car is a 99-00 model meaning its faclifted,,,

ur front bar is identical to his...

just minus the lip and the foggies

[Gio]

His has round fog lights, where as mine has the rectangle style foglight holes.
Mines 98, guessing it has the facelift.

[Gio]

Anyone know how to do the black gloss look, do i just spray it black then pray gloss over it or does it come together?

[cvicek]

i think you can buy either just black or gloss paint

so if you use the gloss black, i guess you don't have to spray the gloss over, but if you just use the normal black , a gloss will need for the shinny and smooth look

yo you got the same front bar and his foglights can be bought and put onto your car by simply drilling two holes in the dedicated section.

[[ricer]]

blacked out headlights on a black car = sick

actually blacked out headlights on any car would look better

[steve88]

i did matt black and i would prefer the gunmetal or gloss black. plus mine got a little dirty while doing it so i need a clean! make sure you dont dirty your lens from the inside lol

[Gio]

I decided upon matt black :) I think gloss would look good 2. Here is a pic, sorry my light is dirty didnt wanna clean it before the pic!

looks good, it looks like mine, but you painted the indicator area to.
how is the indicator during the day?

[Gio]

its fine hey! well i think it is! na man its all good, u would have to be stupid + very old + blind not to see it :)

[steve88]

i left the backing of my indicator chrome still (i was anal about making it exactly like the type R headlights i went and found like 100 pics of the type R head lights and tried to get it as close as possible. although they dont use a matt colour, they use some kinda black chrome its hard to explain...

[Gio]

yeah true, i like how mine turned out. btw steve i laugh when ever i see ur avatar lol.

[steve88]

hahaha i love it man. i dunno how he pulled it off. you know u can buy postie bikes cheap, my mate got one from an auction for $40!!

[98vtir]
