- Fine. I'll do it MYSELF! In today's video, the Budget Honda Civic Build gets a Rattle Can paint job! In effort to save money on this build, I knew I was going to be doing some DIY painting on this car. So join me for my biggest rattle can job yet with some results I'm proud of!
Spray painting car parts is not my favorite thing to do, but I've had great luck with it in the past. I knew I was going to be rattle canning some small parts on this car, but not the big stuff. Due to my painter having technical issues with his booth, I took on the task of painting my bumper, lip, grill. sideskirts, and door mouldings. All using Rattle Cans ONLY with good primer, good base coat, and 2K Clear Coat. To be honest, the second painting session was not planned, nor did I plan to film it. I tried my best to get the footage I could to make this video.
For a complete walkthrough of how I've painted plastic car parts in the past, I recommend watching my front lip painting video. I did a much better job talking about the prep steps. I followed the same routine of prepping the parts with sanding using up to 600 grit, paint prep wipedown, masking with tape, 3 coats of flexible primer, sanding more, tacking, shooting 3 coats of base color, tacking, and finally shooting 3 coats of 2K clear coat. Once finished, I was able to sand with 3k grit paper and machine polish.
Overall, I'm super happy with the results and saved a ton of money by not taking it to a shop. Is it perfect? Of course not. But it's still pretty damn good in my eyes! Don't hate me for not showing the final result yet! The walkaround of the parts on the car will be in the next video. I just didn't have time to get the footage I needed.
Thanks to JW. Media for all the awesome painting shots!

A couple things I want to address! Unlike my other videos, this really wasn’t planned. Normally, I would explain things in excruciating detail. This wasn’t mean to be educational in anyway, just documenting what I’ve done to the car. If I didn’t make it, people would ask “Anthony did you paint those parts?” So yeah, wish I would have taken more footage in retrospect but what can you do. Enjoy it for what it is, and I promise you’ll like the final outcome. Thanks for watching!
THIS IS SO IRONIC I TRIED TO TOUCH UP THE FADED-WHITE/YELLOW HOOD OF WICKED SWEET NA 94 ACCORD LX AND THE CLEAR COAT ALREADY GOT YELLOW, GONNA TRY IT AGAIN, ITS SMOKEY AND ANNOYING IN CALIFORNIA BUT IM GONNA DO IT IN MY GARAGE
Man wished he showed us the finished product with them on the car. Nevertheless looks like you did a great job man! Needa re paint my bumper too it’s pretty chipped up
It's coming! Just trying to keep things in order. I appreciate you watching though!
I don’t mind waiting to see the car on actual wheels and not the hub caps
@@gerry3RS kinda excited cause this is his budget build so we’ll see if he even goes there
Late to the party but still made it! Dude i just love the attention to detail u give even with rattle can painting a $900 car. I can't believe it's been just over a year since i bought my Civic, and it was inspired by you! 🤙🏽 Cya in the next upload
Thanks for watching! Time flies!
The one disadvantage about the ebay grill is you cant seperate the grill part from the part you want to paint. The oem one has like 10 screws that allow you to seperate the 2 parts. But great build non the less.
And i totally agree on waiting to get the wheels before the big reveal. Keep up the good work.
Looks fantastic! I bought a new to me 2013 Civic. The bumper has some stone chips and parking lot battle scars. Not horrible and I was going to live with it. I always wanted to repair it but a bit hesitant. After watching your video, I feel confident to do it. I'll definitely source the same materials and prep the bumper properly. Thank you for the video!
Anthony!.... One thing I think that would be really great for this series is to keep track of exactly how many HOURS you put into this vehicle. Also have your competitors do the same so you can compare. This will provide a way to quantify your actual cost/profit from the flip. Once sold, divide the profit by the hours spent on the car and that will give you a true "dollar per hour" rate for your own labor. Even if it comes out to only $10 an hour, it's still a very important factor. All that work is worth something when you are trying to turn a profit, and it really needs to be factored into the cost of flipping the vehicle. Too many people forget to pay themselves for all their hard effort.
BTW: One cool trick to precision edge masking is to use a straight edge & cut long thin pin-stripes of making tape with a razor. Then use them to run around the precision edge of your piece. The thin masking strips easily stretch/bend around very tight curves while still laying perfectly flat. Once edges, you mask like normal with less precise fatter strips of tape.
The past 4 videos have been so satisfying to watch
Thanks man! Appreciate you watching
Paint job looks good to me, I would not complain. Can’t wait for the reveal!
Thanks man! Working on it right now
Thanks for inspiring me to build my EJ8. Love your civics!
Thanks man!
I love your video as always. Every time I see your Hondas, it always revitalise the urge to buy a Civic, even though my dream brand is Subaru.
Looking good. I’ll probably be doing my em1 wing and lip rattle can style too
SO CLOSE TO 100K!!
Getting there!!
Great job Anthony!!!
So close to 100k!!!! Congrats in advance man. Well deserved!
Thanks a ton!
Very good results from a spray can! I hope you follow through with your plan to have a subscriber cruise when you hit 100k.
Lol! Are you gonna be in it?
@@ALLDAYANTHONY Seven days on the high seas with a bunch of Civic fan boys. You bet your sweet ass I’ll be there!!
Great job! Looking forward to the next video
Working on it as I type this!
Beast job
Why are these videos the best.Great content man👍🏼
Glad you like them!
Very clean job!! Love how the coupe is coming along. Been trying to make a junkyard run to get myself a bumper to rattle can these past 3 saturdays but ive been busy 😫 and i dont want to rattle can my new OEM bumper until i respray my complete hatch.
i need to do this to my white ex em2 cvic lol live in apt kind no room or my friends place. Great vid looks great man
Just try to do it in a covered area!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY yea or nice day lol I have gill for my em2 to might paint like that white to I did debage my cvic to hey going to post my cvic on my Instagram you can check it out I like to do video on it 😉 but me tech tuber lol 😂
wow amazing job
Appreciate it it man!
Awesome job bro!!
Thanks!!
Good job bro! Makes me wanna paint my own car now 😂
you should get the SI or Type-R style ebay rear lip
My dude!! You knocked yourself out man I enjoyed the process! Can’t wait for the next video! Can you show us the difference on the rear bumpers?
Still to this day my dude I haven’t seen your face!
Seen u put new coil overs on the civic ur gonna end up selling wouldnt it be better take the ones off ur red one put it on the white one and the new ones be on your daily?
It's fire
Thanks for watching dude!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY nice only 6k away from silver button that's fast
After seeing this (twice) I think I'm going to try my luck on my EM2 bumper. It's silver so I'm not AS nervous as I would be if it were a dark color - great video Anthony!
Can't wait to try this on my 1998 civic build. Just may do on my channel
I've come to the realization that I cannot rattle can. It's just not my forte. I sincerely admire those that succeed at it but I just don't have the magic touch. PS, where do you live that you have all these salvage yards with these older Civics lying around?!
Dam looking clean. Love the videos man keep it up
Trying to!
Man you're a Pro! Nice job!
From another taffeta white civic coupe owner, nice job. Looking forward to how this turns out 👍
nice!🦾
Looks pretty good 👍🏻, nice job
👍
Great paint work boss ❤
I did the same on mine but just the faded black grill and the whipers
Nice! Easy job!
Great job you should have got a can of DEI Boom Mat on the underside of the bumper and side skirts
You’re the man👌
You’re the man!
You always do an amazing job on whatever you do. I guess you can thank your OCD.
Keith I think that’s the nicest comment I’ve gotten from you lol
@@ALLDAYANTHONY lol, well it's true brother. Great job & amazing videos!
Looks like my build I had back home on Guam. I miss it, I wish I can own another.
Hopefully you'll be getting an OEM Si front lip as well.
Love it man! How I wish access to civic parts are the same here. Damnit can't get parts for my project so I can start
Pretty common in the US. Maybe ship them?
@@ALLDAYANTHONY would be cool but shipping parts here from US is costly.
Anthony at our shop we sand to 320 before primer and then sand the primer to 500 before paint. Looks amazing though!
Thanks man! I thought about going down to 400 but 600 still gave me some grab before paint!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY no problem! If you have any questions or need anything you know where to ask😉
Looks awsome🔥
I say next u paint a whole car/truck! Good 👍🏽 work
Haha maybe someday!
what do you do for work bro?
How much was the can at Napa auto store ?? I went and ordered duplicolor can and it was 19.45 after tax and I went back and bought another one and no one mentioned they color matched smh
You did a great job painting with rattle cans. The 2K clear really gives it a nice glossy finish. I was wondering though, could you use 2K clear to coat your headlights? Would that keep them from fading and getting cloudy? I just bought new headlight assemblies for my ‘01 Accord and I want to protect them from the sun.
From experience (maybe someone could relate or not ) I’ve done that and after 6months or so the coating got super flaky and grey almost, it was really rough to the touch I wouldn’t do it if I were to come across that again
@@Debodan I appreciate the reply. I wonder if it flakes because 2K clear is not meant for plastic?
I’ve had great luck with 2k clear on headlights. But it’s ALL about the prep. Headlights need to be sanded before clear is layed or else it WILL flake off
@@ALLDAYANTHONY Awesome! Thank you.
U getting close to 100k subs!
Do you remember how much your color match paint was ?? I’m trying to do the same at my auto parts store & they said one can is $38?!?
Perfect job. I love your vids
Thanks fam
Great video.
I would like to see how do you remove/install the side molding, having some issues with and I don’t want to break them
The paint turned out super nice!!!!🔥🤙 keep up the good work👌
Thanks fam!
What year is this civic?
2000!
You definitely took a page out of Chris fix and his production.
Hi what year is this Honda Civic Also have you ever had any issues with your head gasket or your distributor ignition coil?
How tf do you have the horn buttons on your wheel still??🥺🥺🥺 they fell off of mine
Question for you, how do you remove the side moldings? Do you have to remove the inner panels?
Would one set of the primer, base coat and clear coat be enough for a lip, side skirts, and a grill? TIA!
No, you would need 3 cans each
You should've got different spray paint tips, like maybe an astro fat or a orange fat or something fat tip so you don't overspay, and you can paint alot with just a few passes
Didn’t think about that!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY you should try it next time you needa touch something up, they also have winged adapters that go on Rust-Oleum cans if you choose that route, I'm sure your viewers might have some interest in seeing that
Man I hate to ask but which front lip is that? I’ve had my civic since 2010. It’s now k swaped and has over 330k miles on it. I watched your coil over video and said, “that’s it… I gotta bite the bullet and lower it” love the videos man!
It’s a RA style lip!
Thanks man!
And bumper repairs are tricky! You can never get it perfect. It will always be a bit wavy.
I tried my best!
What white did u use?
Where do u get ur color matching paint? How much was it
Damn bro your can job looks better then most the work I've seen spray painters pull out of the booth. Feel sorry for your finger that shit hurts like he'll after the first 30 min of spraying with a can.
They were a little sore for sure lol
Is there a reason you’re not starting off the panels then moving onto them after you start spraying? I’ve heard not doing it this way makes the paint uneven. Could be wrong I’m not a professional just interested in professional painting
See that’s where I’m not sure. From my experience, the longer the spray the bigger chance of the spray spitting. I’ll do short burst in both directions and look for the paint to begin cross linking. Once I see it mesh together for that area, I wait until the next coat. Just how I do it personally with cans
were did you get the white spray paint
You probably get this alot but if you're willing to sell your red coupe, let me know!..I'm in the market looking for one!
Come paint my car man🤨🤔
haha, I would get someone that knows a little more about what they're doing lol
Is the metal dual core radiator under the hood of the white civic a factory part? Or where did you get it from?
Factory I believe
how are your forearms as giant as your biceps
You really don’t want me to answer that
Where did you find these skirts? Can you link them please!
OEM skirts, just painted
Can you tell me where I can buy a side molding? I can't find any on the internet.
Junk yard
I’m early 😁
Thanks for coming to watch!
👍👍👍🌵🌵🌵
Your professional painter friend didn’t have a functioning paint gun for over a month 😳
yeah dude, he was bummed
Subaru boxes when u have an evo and civics
Lol, literally just found it
Make it look like an SI 😭
If I dedicated 20 minutes, I expected at least a final result. Otherwise I want my 20 minutes back.
That's like you taking me back to your house and I didn't even get at least the tip.
IOU 20 minutes of life back. Put it on my tab
So he just not going to show us the results on the car?
I dont like too much talking on the videos go straight to the point. It tired me so bad….
I don't recommend watching any of my other videos then lol
Liked but the build up sucked
Ur such a tease ant 😐
