i painted my civic red with the same paint. turned out nice only problem i had after a week of being out side it lost its gloss fast so it was semi gloss but all it needed was clear.
@thenewpainter I honestly don't know the difference between the two, and my guess is that it's not significant enough for you to notice a difference in your finish product. If it costs the same then go for it, otherwise I would just use the regular Gloss.
@patlemire Please make a step to step video (and watch my walk around vid of my 1991 honda civic) gona do bodywork then do this painjob. also black so would be nice for u to explain
@kvette053 I did not use a clearcoat. Using a clearcoat will make the paint look a lot better, if you have the extra time and patience to do it then you should. I did not prime the car
@CH3EY909 I rolled my paint. There are no streaks and everyone is always surprised when I tell them I rolled it. I have heard of people using a gun to spray their paint, but I'm personally not familiar with it nor have I seen it done in person. The thing about using a gun is you have to be sure your paint mixture is done very accurately. If you do it send me a picture of the finish product, I'm curious to see how it would turn out.
@patlemire ooh ok. i always thought rolling would leave streaks or marks. I have painted cars before but i used actual car paint and clear coat, but i've been curious to do so and im just going ahead with the gun though. ill post a vid of the process soon.
It came out lookin nice
