I finally got around to taking a few snapshots, although they are just that, snapshots. I wasn't able to capture the color of the interior paint due to the bright sunlight, so I am going to post some new pics as soon as I am able to wash the car (it's been rainy here for a week).

Here are a couple of shots of the interior paint. I have painted the center surround, the vent and meter covers, and the pieces over the window/lock buttons. The trim pieces on the steering wheel are next.

Here's the painted (but dirty!) engine cover. It's green grass Krylon Fusion.

Next are some exterior pics.

Here are the two decals on the back.

And a crappy pic of the painted grille. It's the same color as the interior paint.

And a side shot, showing the vtec decals, clear sides, and my new tires.

Not bad for snap shots. Im not big on the Kiwi color but I love that you matched the plastic on the valve cover.

I'm waiting for better pics. The newly painted areas look greyish on my monitor :confused:

I assume it is a color close to kiwi...metallic but not as brilliant as the color of the E. -g

The actual color is nickel shimmer metallic. It's like a dark silver, and really stands out compared to the dark grey that they were. I'll post some ne wones soon. :)
