2008 Update: A MID WINTER REBUILD and PAINT MIRACLE
A new repair job necessary January 2008 From This:
To This (Done In My Car Port):
Here's the story:
In addition to having done repair work on this section of this car about a year before (shown in this site), the supreme irony was that I had just finished repainting the ENTIRE car one month prior, in November of 2007. OW~!!!
In December I slid on some ice into a car that had suddenly stopped dead in the middle of a main thoroughfare-- they didn't have working brake lights.
Consequently, I TOTALLY destroyed the front body work of my car. This included complete destruction of the passenger front fender, front header (above the bumper), hood, and passenger headlight and signal, plastic grill, as well as substantial damage to the interior frame radiator support, and slight bending of the bumper supports.
Had I only been able to take the car into a body shop, it would have cost THOUSANDS to fix.
As it was, I did it myself in a few hours for under $300 using the exact methods outlined on this site, including the parts and paint.
Any insurance company would have said "forget it, here's nothing for you car". Knowing this in advance, since this car was already 21 years old, I had only liability insurance, and so I in fact got NOTHING for the collision.
But I slept on it a couple of nights and thought, what the heck, let's see what I can do. The car was otherwise in EXCELLENT running condition, and finding another used car of any age in equivalent shape would have also cost thousands. And I loved this car: great handling, cargo, size, and looks.
My research: A frame shop wanted to replace the entire radiator support-- this alone would have been over $300 just for starters.
Instead, my friend Bobby and I got together are started yanking at the radiator support after removing all the ruined body parts, and we managed after five or ten minutes to bend the radiator support back into line using some steel rods and a crowbar. This is AFTER our bending, Cost? $0
Next, I sprayed the damaged but re-bent support with some primer to protect it. Already things were looking more optimistic.
I then removed the bumper and straightened the bumper supports so the bumper would sit straight off the car again.
The next step was to find a replacement fender, header and lights. Not an impossible feat for an 1986 Honda, but it took a little bit of looking. Eventually I found all the parts I needed and the cost for a header, lights, and fender was roughly $175. I put them on as shown here:
The bumper itself was not damaged except for a bit of paint scraped off. The corner of the hood was bent quite a bit, and ultimately I went to a PULL IT YOURSELF junkyard, and found a new hood for $50 and just replaced the hood as well.
I could have done body work on the hood corner, but for $50 I got a perfect hood, and it saved me a few hours of body work just to simply replace it and spray the new hood.
At the Pull It Yourself junkyard (you go and find a wreck like your car, and then pull off the parts you need), I ended up buying several parts, including a new driver's side headlamp, and a half dozen other parts. By the time I was done with my completed paint job on the replacement body parts, my car was actually in much better condition, as there were many small things that I had let go for a while, that were now fixed.
As you can see below-- it turned out great. The painting was done in REALLY COLD WEATHER in January, inside my car port, at temperatures that pushed the limits of car painting. I had a couple of heaters going inside the car port and plastic up to keep the wind out, but probably the temperature was in the mid 40's at best.
NOTE: I removed the body parts and painted them OFF the car, then replaced.
Here's the finished job, shown about a month later on a nice 60 degree day in February. Nice and shiny and smooth, and no finish sanding or buffing needed:
Collecting the parts I needed took a few hours, and painting took less than two hours. Total cost was under $300, and I had plenty of paint left over for touch ups for this and my Lotus (same paint).
Bending everything into place, like the radiator support and bumper, took a little time. But considering that any insurance company would have simply "totalled" this car after this accident, giving me virtually nothing-- this fix up job was a real MIRACLE.
I saved a 21 year old car, that frankly still runs like new, and should serve me well for as long as I manage to keep from bashing it up in another wreck again!

FOREWORD How To Paint Your Car- Fun! First of all let me say I am delighted that this page has proven so popular, and that it has been the #1 page on Yahoo and Google (when it WORKS) for the search "HOW TO PAINT A CAR" and similar searches for several years now. (I recommend the Yahoo search engine these days).
The page has LOTS of unsolicited testimonials to show what people like you are getting from this page and my materials-- so you know this is REAL, and really USEFUL info on how to paint your car. There have been literally dozens, perhaps hundred of How To Paint Your Car web sites that have sprung up since I first published this page in 2003. Unfortunately for the budding person interested in learning how to paint your car, many of these sites are poorly done, some impressive looking ones contain obvious mistakes , others leave out things "till next month" (!) and the worst thing, is virtually most pages showing up near the top of search engines are primarily commercial advertising platforms. You won't have to suffer through the same bad advice I was subject to when I first started. Congratulations! If you find it helpful, then you can get further inexpensive and totally affordable online instant download information and/or the DVD. I help you, you help me survive, and I keep improving this page and materials. Human to human here, :-) Make sure and read my additional notes at the bottom. You can end up with a far better paint job than your local cheap OR expensive outside service. Why? Because you may care more than the actual guy working on your car for $12.50 an hour. Above all, have fun, and enjoy your finished paint job~! We have now created a very practical and foolproof 80 page illustrated manual (color photo version download), 62 minute online video download, and/or DVD/CD that you may purchase and keep with you out in the garage and watch on your computer and/or DVD player - so please consider picking one of these up. These will be priceless for guiding and helping you. (I keep the price inexpensive, because these days, everyone is eager to save a little money where ever they can.) So, enjoy!

THE REAL POOP ON PAINTING YOUR CAR
The reason I learned how to do car painting is
because I owned a rare collector car that would have cost me
$3000-$4000 minimum to have the body work and paint done-
and it needed it. AND, I could not afford this. So, I contacted one of my friends, perhaps
the best expert on fiberglass repair and body painting anywhere,
Mr. Vic Cooper in Denver. He regularly repairs and repaints the
most expensive, the most exotic passenger and race cars, from
Lotuses to Lambos to hot rods. He taught me how to do this over
a long period of time. Since I am a writer and film maker (and
he and other experts I knew are not), I translated everything I
learned from him into a form that people could easily learn from
right off the web. I further got regular advice from an
exceptionally good paint shop in Denver that specializes in
automotive refinishing. I spent months learning what works, and what
doesn't work- and when I was done I had done my first car, my
white Lotus that you see on the book cover. It turned out
perfectly. And the method I used can be applied to any vehicle,
fancy or plain, big or small, boat or car, truck, bike, or
motorcycle.
There are tons of BAD books and DVDs that look
good on the surface, but in practical use were complicated and
had stuff in there that was unnecessary. I wanted to make
material available that WORKED as advertised, and was not overly
complicated or poorly written. You may find yourself in a similar position
looking at painting your vehicle- but without having done this
previously, or have done it making many mistakes and not having
things turn out so good. You may not know anyone who knows how
to do this, or has the time to show you. I will show you, because it is my business
teaching people- and I've been a teacher for 35 years. If you decide it is best to paint your car
yourself, you will need a spray gun, a compressor, the paint,
some miscellaneous small tools, sandpaper, and a certain amount
of patience. You can do it in a car port, garage, paint booth,
or even in your driveway- you decide what is best for you. You can borrow or rent the gun and compressor
and save money that way, and pay about $100 for the paint and
sandpaper, and if you read the instructions you can come up with
a decent paint job on most cars. You will also need odds and
ends which you may or may not have, light solvents, gloves, an
air respirator, and other small items necessary for painting. Or, you can spend about $250 on the gun and
compressor, own it permanently and do lots of things with it for
the rest of your life- like paint your house, air clean stuff,
run other tools with it, etc. If you have a special car or a collector car,
plan on spending a lot of time sanding and re-sanding, and fine
sanding, and polishing, and correcting your mistakes, and doing
body work. If you don't have an extra $3000 sitting
around, this may be your only choice- AND you can do it, and
come up with an absolutely gorgeous job. I will show you how,
and my methods come from THE BEST EXPERTS possible. If you just have an old car and would rather
do it yourself than spend $300 or $400 at the budget shops for a
mediocre job that they will do, you can do it quickly and end up
with a finish as good if not better than such shops, and spend a
minimum amount of time doing it- although you will still need
the materials and equipment you don't already own, and a place
to do it. You can get the download or DVD (it is dirt
cheap), or just read through the basics on this page and
get a good idea of what you will need to do. Okay....you decide. No bull here. The best
painting adventure to you! |
