I can't even begin to think how much a paint job like that would run you... It was stupid expensive when I had my Integra painted.

NICE BUILD! can't wait to see the outcome

So you spend all this money on a JP kit and Scaras and you complain about the price of a paint job? I personally would've kept the cherry pearl. A very rare color and maybe even more rare where you're located.

Ok, so I visited the shop. Just a small update...the passenger side panels fitted perfectly with no panels rubbing, alignment is nice. The driver side panel almost fitted perfectly..rear door panel nips the front when opened, but my friend said no big issue just a small shave and sanding will fix it, alignment is good. Other than that, most of the car is sanded. I'll need to get him 2 gallons of paint and clear again for the final layer once everything is assembled. Was thinking about high glamour clear..any thought on high glamour vs. 2 gallons of regular clear finish?





Driver side rear door panel with slight rub on front..
