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

Had my partner help my install my new speaks and sub into boot
Where i fabric vinyl'ed the sitting board as well.

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 :)

I have done many art classes myself and have a deplomia in
visual arts and photography.
but this with the purple i let my partner show me how
to do with a base coat,paint, then the top coat.
so ill be doing the pipe and radiator myself.

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

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

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
