hey there... nice ride..

HAQER · 08-18-2006, 07:22 PM

Yeah, I saw your reflection in the first picture. I was going to ask if it was a girl or if a girl just took the picture. Nice car. I remember when I had just picked mine up and it was that shiny. You need to go ahead and get some Zaino show car polish and polish that sucker up to keep it that shiny.

that's my friend...if you look closer, you will see a good looking guy in the driver's seat...

Zaino? is that a wax?

Welcome and congrats :)

Step 3: Do what you want and not what others tell you to

shakkagrom · 08-21-2006, 09:42 PM

I feel like i'm in an AA meeting or something...j/k....

Ya know, I did find a couple flaws in the paint job though...on the hood, there's a spot abou the size of a silver dollar that is noticed during a bright ass day...it looks like a concentration of pearl....

also, i know the dealer ended up waxing her up for me before i picked her up and noticed that the bumper may have been overbuffed....i think they freaking took the clearcoat off!!!

So, i go to the dealer today and they're like, "Yeah, we could send it up to the body shop, but it may not be worth it..." Something about the factory paint and the body shop's paint not blending right...

Told him i'd think about it...not sure what to do...

I would not suggest you having it taken to the Honda body shop as well.
They tend to suck for some reason. My friend bought a red honda fit the day it first came out and not long after...the rear bumper had some scuff or scratch on the paint. He took it to Honda and it messed up more, then they repainted it but it came out not blended right The red seems a bit different and its just whacky.

Honda's oem 06 paint has downgraded to be honest so all those people say it, its true. I am another addition from actually seeing it myself...

I say live with it or take it to a professional body shop but then again it may not blend right either... best thing I can only think of is to actually get the whole car repainted with a better quality paint job.
