Think I found the Integra Im going to buy its a real nice GSR real cheap low miles I'll post a link to it on the bottom. The only thing is its the ungliest color of green I've ever seen, I think the original owner had it painted, cause I never saw this type of turqoise on an Acura. But i was just wondering how I should go about painting it, I've never had to paint an entire car. I've helped my grandfather paint replacement parts like bumpers and fender, so I know about mixing the paint, sanding, washing, and all that. But do I have to remove all the body parts ie. take the fenders off and the bumpers and all to paint them, or do I just put some tape around them and be very very careful. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Also what color should I get? Anything inventive... like something you guys have never seen. Or just something simple I was thinking midnight black I like the one in the photo albums thats all black. Silver is nice to.... maybe some shade of medium gray. Definately not green or red though. Yellow is nice on the Type Rs I've seen but Im not a big yellow person. Any help would be appreciated and if anyone knows anyplace to buy paint real cheap let me know. I'll need alot of it

take off your bumpers and side skirts take out all your lights mask what you don't want paint on and spray away

I've also been looking into doing something cool with the paint but Im not sure how to go about doing it. Im an excellent artist and I love anime. Been thinking about doing something special with the paint. If any of you play NFS:Underground theres a custom vinyl with an angel and feathers on it, I kinda like that look and was thinking how hard would it be for me to custom paint the feathers and possibly and angel or something on a car. I was also debating whether I should fork out the money for a custom decal I could design myself and just apply to the car or whether I should go all out and do it in paint. I dont know much about custom painting cars though I can do a bit of good work using masking tape to make designs but doing something like feathers might be difficult. If anyone has any tips on how to go about doing this let me know.
