I wanted to drive the CRX but it was ugly and I just up and decided to paint it. I started sanding it tonight, trying to get all the black spray paint off, I hope to have primer on it this Sunday and paint on it by the end of next week.</p>
<p dir="auto">I plan to paint it one solid color, no black trim or anything, I have seen these cars one solid color and it looks a lot better than stock.</p>
<p dir="auto">I just need to figure out what color to paint it. I could go with red like it was stock or something different, if you have any ideas please post. I will update this thread as I make progress on the car.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you have any other ideas, please post, about all I have planned for mods are, shaved emblems.</p>

<p dir="auto">Geez can't you just say thats nice and good for you, lol.</p>
<p dir="auto">I was gunna shave the hood H emblem, but didn't feel like welding the holes shut, so I still got it and I painted it black. I know the window trim is pretty weathered, but right now it looks bad becasue it is still a little dirty from when I wet sanded the primer, just use some good ol Armor all and it will look better. I really do need to replace the window trim, but the only place I could find that sold it was the dealer and ya it would cost more that the wheels and paint job to redo all that.</p>
<p dir="auto">I still need someone to come over and help me figure out the humming sound.</p>

The guys at the MNSC said I shouldn't have painted the trim, but I think it looks 10X better all one color. And those wheels really make it look neat. Now all I need is a rear part of the interior, and It will be a lot better. you wouldn't believe all the road noise you get with no rear carpet. I also need new struts, I don't think I am gunna do springs though, it sits really nice now and I hate cars that can't even make it over a speed bump.</p>
<p dir="auto">So its a project in progress. I decided no rear wing, stock lighting looks great so that won't be replaced.</p>
<p dir="auto">Next on the list is:<br />
Interior, looks like I am gunna have to custom make something, gunna have to get some of that black carpet from mac's  <img src="https://fargostreet.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f604.png?v=40430adaedb" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--smile" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":D" alt="😄" /><br />
Exhaust, since the muffler fell off before I got it<br />
Struts<br />
30% tint on the rear windows<br />
Then I dunno</p>
<p dir="auto">Is there anyone that know Honda's good? I got a funny noise in the driveline that bothers me. Its a humming noise that comes and goes.</p>

First off sweet deal that it is painted.  Cant wait to see thes pics of it especially with the wheels on it.</p>
<p dir="auto">On the other note I think it would of made a little sense to do a good quality job on it so people could see the quality of work you can do since you say you want/have a shop and to automotive work.   Just my .02</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Yes I could have done a really nice job, but it wasn't  very nice car. I am not set upt to do paint and body work now, so that expalins part of it. Next summer my body shop will be done and I will have a proper paint booth, right now we're using a garage.</p>
<p dir="auto">But this spring we are doing my 79 Trans AM and that will be perfect, so that will be a good example of our work. But I myslef hate body work, my dad was a professional painter once, but because of health problems can no longer handle the body work, so once I am up and running I am going to hire a body guy.</p>

<p dir="auto">Thankyou... plus being its 8 degrees out side and a bad setup for painting, If we had the proper booth and the heat lamps, it would have been perfect.</p>
<p dir="auto">But you know what, now Kevin will have some business from me, because I was thinking of having him cut and buff the car.</p>
