    That looks pretty stupid to me. Keep it in one color.

    I give it props because its done with spray paint.

    As far as the overall car, paint-job design and detail it gets no points. Its a fugly look for the integra, you can see the stockness in the fishbowl, the bodykit is horrendous and the wheels didn't help it.

    Again props for a rattle can job

    Paint its unique for sure! But I know rattle crap doesn't last on the road at all. Not a fan of the graphics either.

    I give him props for making it look that good with spray paint, but as Keith said spray paint will not last long on the road especially the front bumper and hood. If u try that on your own it will be unlikely for the paint to turn out as glossy as regular paint if you start from scratch.

    thats pretty cool, it would probably last pretty good actualy but you would need real primer and real clear.

    true, but the chemicals in most rattle paint react with the chemicals in most professional paints. This causes "mud cracks" almost immediately when they are used together.

    ^ This. Had to learn it the hard way. If you want to DIY, at least learn how to do do it with the budget.

    IMHO i think it looks fine, but for those guys who say airbrushing is just crap im sure they're just hating on them cars, im pretty sure they say that because they dont have the money to pay for that kind of art,, anyways keep it up with ur "one color" but please think outside the box and start building different things(cars),, i see a lot of people with the same exact car but in different colors, ,,

    it won't hold up. i rattle canned my mirrors and they flaked and faded within the first year. and it was actual automotive paint and clear

    Flat Spray paints works fine with pro paints the issue is using gloss spray cuzz it doesnt bind well with pro paint or clear and Spray paint jobs will last a good while if you get a good clear coat on it
