Ok so i'm a broke college student and I need to paint my ride. I really like the it looks with the gloss black but there are to many dings on below the upper body line on the lateral sides of the car. At first I wanted to just two tone it with black on the top and white on the bottom (because white hides everything) and have a pin strip painted on to split up the colors just for fun.

But, iv'e also really liked the matte black paint for a long time so I was thinking of going with black chalk board paint and just having fun with the car for the next few years while i'm in school. I really don't care about baller status (it's a freakin honda after all) i'm just looking for a cheap solution to make the car appear better over all.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Chris

That's not a car, it's a toaster on wheels. :P (I actually like the 1G xBs.)

Um, it's flat black. *shrugs* I like the look og a nice flat black vehicle, but, well, I don't get what is so special about it unless you want to write flowerpower slogans or have kids play hop-scotch on your car?

or have your college buddies draw cocks and boobies on it. To me you are just asking for a life of agony inviting people to draw on your car.

I don't like the 2 tone idea either, go flat black but don't make it an open invitation to practice drawing vajayjay's.

Yeah I was thinking of just going all out white and forgetting about it. White is simple and easy to make look great. Although I may find another use for chalkboard paint because It is pretty cool.

Fizz: Yeah i'm pretty sure my car would eventually have a set of tit's and a giner on there if I had the chalk board paint LOL.

Beave: thanks for responce. I do have some very talented friends that could showcase some art work but, i'll just let them do it on something more worth while than a civic.

Thats why this is called "OneCamOnly" . For some its not about the price. Its about the pride in which they take in building a Single Cam motor that stomps on all others. Sure it might cost a little more money for someone to get what they want out of a Single Cam motor. But doing a swap is too easy.Step up!

black board would be so sick because you could draw cool stuff on your car with chalk and then wash it off when ever you want
