My Honda City’s New Paint Job
10
November
White is the new Black. I really like the City in its original Black Hawk Night Pearl’s color, but it’ll get all the “spider-webs” the first time it got out of any car wash after polish/wax, even if I wash it super-carefully. Due to its dark color, the “web” appears pretty obviously under the sunshine.
All doors and bonnets are removed to enable the hidden space to be sprayed.
The engine bay. Wirings and coverings are moved aside for the spray job.
The new paint is a 2 layer paint consisting of white-color as the basecoat and the bluish silver white pearl as the top coat.
Backside also kena sprayed!
Separated doors and bonnets.
Took a shot of this little annoying siren. It’s not something that I can see everyday. The siren is hidden somewhere to prevent car burglars from easily disabling it. Unlike those “P” and “P” cars where you could stop the alarm sounding within 5 seconds by opening up the bonnet and cut off the wire cause the siren is basically right in front of you, on the wall in front of your dashboard.
Honda City’s custom front bumper. Design by CCR Fiber, Thailand.
All the seats and carpets were removed too. 0-gauge wire looped around the steering.
Expected delivery date. November 14th, 2007.
