There's nothing wrong with your Civic so don't let that comment bother
you.

As for your paint job, your first stop should not be at a typical
HARDWARE store, but an AUTOMOTIVE PAINT store...they'll have what you
need -- may even rent you equipment -- tell you what the best paint
for your application is, how much to thin it out for the sprayer, and
so on...stuff you need to know to do a good-looking (vs. crappy) job.

Go there first.

The hardest part my be finding a dust/bug-free environemnt to do it
in.

Good luck,

John D.

You left out Space Cadet.

some people have different perspectives on things

he may like it and you dont

You make fun of what you are really afraid of... and thats us......

Thanks for the advice all! I ended up getting some decals made at a stencil
shop. I little safer :)

How ironic...my friend has a 1983 Chevy van pained up to look like the
A-teams! We wrecked it though when another friend tried to park a Suzuki
swift in the back of it while both were driving (only 10-15 Kph), kinda
like what Knight Rider did. No biggie for him though, he has the $$$ to buy
a new one.

I just added a new Apline system to my Civic, and am looking at some serious
engine mods. Now I just need to soup up my winter vehicle! (2000 MDX, shitty
brown colour).

Why would someone buy a car they don't like? If it's all they have,
then go to a dealer that has what you want. Cars aren't cheap, and
since you're paying so much, you better get EXACTLY what you want.

The only reason I can see someone buying a car in a color they don't
like is if it's the LAST one and the dealer is offering it at a super
low price, or if you're buying a used car with a super low price.
