If the Foo...well, you know. Just wear it.
Some of that thing called maintenance. At 30,000 miles. Topped off tire pressures, checked and topped-off fluids, new wiper inserts. You know, the things you have to do to keep your Civic running. Couple of weeks is alignment check and new tires for the off-summer season.
I have to do my 40,000 mile maintenance next week sometime as I'm 300 miles shy of that mark

How do you like it? Do you have subs in the trunk?

Yeah, I have a couple of puny subs, but I am doing it more for the road noise. Not even close to done yet. It is very time consuming and rough on the hands so I am doing it in little chunks.

It's VHT Wrinkle Plus. The only available colors are red and black. The best working temp for this paint is between 75-90 degrees make sure you spray it outside and not in the shade. What I did was spray it with a very light coat first, so that the paint will stick on the part at the second coat. Wait for 10-15min. 2nd coat will be very heavy, but not too heavy that would cause runs. Wait 5-10min for another coat if needed. Let it dry outside under the sun, not when it is very cloudy or windy. The sun will do most of the work that gives the wrinkle look. When the part is dry enough (probably 2-3 hours), bake it in an oven for 20 minutes at 200 degree F.

Yeah. Pretty much. Lol.
You'll smell the paint in your engine bay and cabin for several days. The engine heat will do the final curing. Lol.
