Default Custom CRX and Del Sol work.

So the past 2 weeks I had 2 guys come to me with problems.... One of them had a CRX he paid probably 300 bucks for and wanted to throw on a crazy paint job. Who am I to argue? Am I gonna say no.. His friend came to me and said somebody put a integra front bumper on his car and did a bad job. I told him I wouldn't just let somebody put anything on my car with out knowing how to do it the right way so I told him I'd fix it. Here are the before and after pics what do you guys think?

THe CRX is missing many parts to the car but its not because of me. THe guy bought a CRX that had its good days and had its bad days. I didn't forget to put parts back on, he just didn't have them. And other parts were so old I told him its not worth trying to put back on and it would be better to find new ones.

This the CRX before and after.












Here are some before, during, and after. What I did was basically start over. I took the bumper off, grinded down the edges and rebuilt them so they fit each other like legos.

Is the paint supposed to match in the last pic?

No Id never be able to match the paint. Its the same formula which makes it the same color but the rest of the car was a cheap job done almost 5 - 10 years ago. Also throw in a previous owner that had the car sitting outside through Chicago weather for a few years and never took care of the car. I'm surprised the paint looks the way it does. most cars start pearling and cracking everywhere.
