i found a really good deal on some sprint hart cps, so i brought them home wednesday night. they came black, but because i'm changing my color scheme, i decided to alter their appearance a bit. so here, step by step, is how they've transformed thus far.

brought them home: Image i took a can of paint stripper directly to the base coat while wiping the lip clean... Image damn paint was being a bitch... Image after a couple more coats of stripper, i finally got all the old paint off. Image masking the lip was a PITA because of how deep it is... Image with that said and done, it was time to primer. Image Image i didn't want that orange peel effect, so i sanded them down as best i could. Image quick shot of the color the wheels were sprayed... Image and the final product (before clearcoat): Image it was my first time spraying with my new guns + compressor, so i think they came out ok. since i'm going to respray the crx myself i figured i needed some practice. :) tomorrow i'll be shooting the clear coat and polishing the lip...woohoo! btw, here were my weapons of choice... Image Image and a quick teaser of the color i'll be spraying the car... Image well i guess that's not a teaser... :P

you need a mugen kit... and some red chairs... that shit WILL be beautifull!!!

now for my project to get going... believe it or not, but I need a 2nd car to get me by in the time it'll cost me to completely restore the crx (that's the plan anyways... rustproblems MUST be bye bye)
