i wouldnt just paint on top of your paint now... sand with a good 400 grit before you spary so it adheres better...

but i also wouldnt use spary cans....

obviously I would sand it...this isnt gonna be the first body job...prolly more like number 5...spray bombs are fine if u know how to paint...and seing as its a flat colour any imperfections can be sanded out and resprayed with ease

I don't think I would drive a desert storm civic. It might look cool in a picture, but would you expect people to take you seriously if you drove around in that thing all day?

I think that army colour civic is pimp. Why would you care what other people think.

Its a civic, its not a ferrari. I think that car looks good.

Why would people have to take you seriously?? Do u have to race?? Is this a car show??

I've seen some really dumb things done to civics, and this is not even close to the things I've seen.

Definitely not my style (I think the colour is pretty ugly), but then again, it's not my car. Be sure to post up pics when you do it, though, so we can all see how it turns out.

I wouldn't do the two tone personally bro, all one solid flat green.

However I'd do it with a gravity fed gun and a pint or two of the paint. Also clear coat it but with a flating agent mixed into it so the clear will appear flat.
Do it up!

I've seen an assload of them on H-T... just watch the App&Cosm forum, they come up almost weekly. I think it's ghay, but whatever you want. I mean, a military Civic?????

In any case, go for it... but yeah, clearing it will be a must, cuz flat paint will soak in any bird pooh and fingerprints and such... but you can get satin clearcoat for that look you want.
