k, so basically I hate my car...the paint job is horrible and I'm gonna do something about it...picture this, flat olive green aka army green, on black steelies

I've seen the camo civic on honda-tech but never just a straight millitary green one I think it would look pretty slick, and of course I would stencil my ranking above the door opening (nascar style) in flat black

who wants to help me sand and paint this biatch!?!?

DUDE!!!

I was going to do that exact colour....however the fact that my car is an SI SE. I can't bare to change the stock paint. The paint isn't that bad.

Its not that difficult my buddy did his car flat black last summer. Drove it all thru the winter still looks good. Even through all the salt.

Cynikal.Mindset

good find man...oh, I'm super inspired now to do this up...I'm gonna do a flat black hood too

and good call on the SeSi

Tell me about.....I didnt have the heart to do it to the SE.
However one day when the paint goes...its a different story


Here is the ultimate post. Here was my inspiration

It's pretty easy to do...my buddy rattled canned it. Took 1 day and I think 10-12 cans.

I was gonna do flat beige w/black hood & roof

Cynikal.Mindset

yea, I just gotta find 10-12 cans of the army green rattle cans (same brand) and then a couple of flat black for the hood and possible roof...sand the biatch down and spray bomb that biznatch...I also wanna make somekind of gun turret for the sunroof (for car show purposes)

c'mon good weather I need to do this!!!!

mdt920

all about Canadian Tire my friend..for the paint

Cynikal.Mindset

yea, they only had 1 can of the green when I went...bastards, I wonder if they can order me a case of it? that would be sweet

painting all the door jambs and such is gonna suck, especially since the car is white now

This is fvcking sick. I loved army models back when I was little, I painted tanks and plane camo style and this brings back so much childhood memories.

This **** is super hard.

imported_Dawson

you just gonna rattle can it matt? are you gonna clear it after or no just wondering

i think it would look bad *** if it was army green with black hood and roof and then cleared ohhh that would look sexy

Cynikal.Mindset

clearing it defeats the point of it all...like do u see clear coated army vehichles? no! lol...straight up flat black and olive green...maybe radar wont work on my car anymore...stealth mode type ish!!

thankfully my car is relatively rust free so next to no body work is needed, just a lil filler on the hood where the dent is and voila...spray away!!!

i must say that would look crazy

TranceaddicT

i say u do it. DO iT.

i like the whole color idea. so different, and im sure no one in the area will have the same ****..

imported_GoldBadge

I say try for an even darker green. ^^^ That one still looks too light. I bet Car Quest could hook you up with some nice paint, too. They could probably even mix you a custom army green.

What about some army green all over w/ black lips and black pinstripe along the lower window line or something.

BBProductions

why not go chalkboard paint...

imported_kIeRaN

paint the hood, roof, hatch and wheel covers flat black, the rest flat green and that would look sweet

imported_GoldBadge

^ So paint the whole thing flat black?

imported_Dawson

that is true clearing it would defeat the purpose of the army style but for some reason that colour cleared looks sexy

Nova_Dust

I personally think army theme should be carried out as a whole, with no black moldings or lips and hood and all that stuff. Cause that's sort of "modern" and army theme is traditional.

If the army theme is used, then I would keep it all through. But if only the colour is selected, then that's a different idea.

Here you go....olive green EF with a CF hood...its been done.

http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1135139&page=6

Cynikal.Mindset

its been done in the states many times...but none will have a paintball gun turret in the sunroof!!!

this is the main and pretty much final idea...flat army green all over cept the hood that will be flat black...all lips and skirts will be black, wheels will be black steelies. and of course "LT. Cynikal.Mindset" over the drivers door also some random army vehicle like numbering and whatnot

I really need a whole weekend to tear into this project...a nice sized garage would be nice
