Thumbs down Ruining a 92-95 Civic Hatch Door|Photos

The hatch door that's on my whip now is dented and kinda sucks. Due to that, I picked up a fresh hatch door from a fellow TR member. Unfortunately it (was) a canary type yellow, and my hatch is teal green. I didn't feel like riding around w/ mismatched parts again but since this is only temporary b/c my car needs paint and bodywork anyway, I figured what the hey.
Here you have it, my hatch door, keep in mind I'm a professional by no means...

Hatch Door:
All I did to prep the surface was remove all the rubber gromets & such, trunk lock, etc., tuck the wires, tape off the emblem, and clean the door thoroughly w/ some diluted Kaboom. I didn't primer b/c I wanted my graffiti backdrop to look somewhat "authentic;" 'tagged' so to speak.



Some:
I'm going to let this dry, then I'm going to do some wetsanding to smooth out the surface and reveal some layers. After that I'm going to be adding some more crap w/ slightly more detail.



More (coming soon)...

More:
I made some custom stencils and such for the finer details. I'm probably going to do a couple more layers of paint before more sanding and clear coating. I like the way it's coming along. Til' tomorrow. Peace.

Thanks. I don't have pics of it on the whip yet because she's filthy right now. I'll try to post some up by the weekend.

I appreciate that homie. The last picture I posted of the trunk door is before I added several things, cleared, and sanded it. I think the final product will make it seem even more like a subway wall. Lol.

Rep for all! [except Chris; I can't again yet. haha]
