- Wed Jul 29, 2009 10:37 am #133949 I am looking at buying a 92 civic hatchback that needs a paint job bad. So these are my questions.

Its black with some primer spots, I want to just rough it up a little with sandpaper wash it then start the painting process. I want to do the body black, but want a little variation in color.

I always see white civics around here with black hoods.

What would the reverse look like? Black body white hood?

Or any other ideas trying to keep it as low budget as possible.

And how much should I expect to spend?

If you want black - i would add the variant colour in the form of your wheels.

It would look like crap...Dont do that. Just paint it the same color as the body.

Cause when I get out of bootcamp im getting a different car, and if I dont I might just keep it then put a better paint job, getting it and putting it in a shed isnt an option i wrecked my decked out eclipse gt with liability only insurance. I need a ride. And I got friends that paint cars. trust me a walmart water color paintjob would look better than what its got on it.
