Here’s my beater and your gonna have to help me paint my car lol because you do a fine job man
thanks man !! paint probably looks better in the photos lol, has its minor flaws being my first paint job
Hey man anything is better than two tone paint that’s not on purpose haha but looks good
finally got my rear bumper painted and also the rear trailing arms i sand blasted and powder coated and got new wheel bearings and rotors to put on.
also got the rear camber kit and adjustable toe arms ( not that there actually needed)
Nice man, What color is that paint?? Looks sharp
its EBP from the 99-00 civic SI - electric blue pearl. and thanks!
Got the rear wheel wells cleaned up and sprayed down with dynamat spray and then a layer of additional undercoating. Also started sand blasting the rear bolts so i can take them to be cerakoted to make them last is this beautiful michigan weather
started with the coating of some bolts for a first round test -
have them soaking in the acetone to remove grease and oils after sand blasting, the gonna blast them again and pre bake them to bring extra oils to the surface
in the oven and then finished!

What is this cerakote? Will it chip off the head as you tighten/loosen the bolt? Any concerns with it on the threads?
the cerakote is normally used as a gun coating and after a lot of research by my brother (doing a harley project) we were both looking for something to be the best option for exactly those reasons you mentioned , thickness for easy threading and resistants to scratches and abrasion.
according to there website and reviews this stuff is supposed to resist scratching , corrosion, bending without flaking and a lot more.
they say its to be applied only at .001 thickness and i did a test yesterday of screwing some in with a bare socket and they held up EXTREMELY well.
no noticeable scratches and threaded super easily.
other awesome part is it comes in a ton of colors and can coat multiple types of metals and plastics
So everyone I FINALLY hit the road with the car for the first time in like 12 years. Car drove great but ran into a couple issues.
- filled gas tank up it and pressurized so much that the gas came leaking through where the sending unit seal is.
- had an oil leak at the cam seal
took the cam seal out and found out the person who assembled the head overtightened the cam cap and stripped the threads out. The gas tank issue however is still an issue and I’m trying to use the gas up before I look into it further.
Also taking my car to my father in laws shop to have some manual seat belts welded in place and ill take some photos considering its impossible to find photos of this anymore.
Also got some new wheels installed and also new carpet to put in after the welding gets done.
Pics to come soon.
