Integra Paint Job Finished
Integra Paint Job   Finished Product
The finished product. Looks remarkably good.

The end result was actually very surprising. I expected orange peel city, but seriously, there wasn't any sign of it. I did find two tiny runs, but hey, you can't be perfect. When some friends saw the car, they couldn't believe it looked that good considering I had spray canned it. In all honesty, I was more than happy with the outcome, but I didn't expect much going into it. I think with proper prep and masking you could paint an entire car to acceptable standards.

As it sits, I'm now debating whether I should have the car painted completely. The beater, faded paint look has grown on me so much that I may leave it like this. I'll never have to worry about scratches or the paint getting beat up at track days. What do you guys think? Paint it to show car quality or leave it as is?

Brake Upgrade
I decided to be adventurous and not only do the paint in a day but install a simple brake upgrade consisting of EBC Ultimax BlackDash Slotted rotors (USR for short) and Yellowstuff brake pads which are perfect for street/track use. Although, if you plan to get very aggressive on the track, then the EBC Bluestuff pads might be a better option. For everyday use, though, the Yellowstuff pads and USR rotors have stopped the Integra better than any OEM replacement pad I've ever used. Best of all, to this day I have yet to hear them squeal, a common trait for street/track pads.
