[Gio]

Hey guys im thinking about doing a DIY JDM look headlight conversion here is the link http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45494

I would like to know your opinions on what will look better on my black EK civic



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.

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

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

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
