That looks really nice man. Props.

What kind of paint did you use and what'd you do to make it look that nice?

3rd Generation

Thanks guys, i just used white krylon spray paint, onced it was dry i sprayed some clear coat over it for good measure. It was a pain in the ass to make it nice like it is cause i had some armour all on it and it wouldn't stick so i had to keep washing it off and scrubbing, m still doing the passenger vent and will post pics tommorow when eveything is good and ready.

My next project is to spray some engine enamel on some parts under the hood. Also tomorrow i will be wire brushing my alloys and re painting them so y'all might wanna check that out tomorrow too.

A rubbing alcohol or lacquer thinner pre-spray rubdown will prevent the fish eyes you are seeing due to Armor-All. I painted several pieces on my old 96 Civic, and became a pro! lol

A light sanding is worthwhile too, but hopefully yours will hold up. And clearcoat is a must! Good job!
