It was a collision/auto body type place. Never got a quote from Honda.

I found this, I wonder how hard it is to match the factory pant and not look bad.

I will say it’s def not easy. The biggest problem is getting the right amount of paint into the dings. “Professional” detailing people tend to fill, then they end up sanding the dots down flush with the other paint and then steps of polishing/wax.

That's what I am afraid of. I did some touch up paint on my Haro (BMX bike) and did a horrible job lol. But I was only around 14 at the time, I had nasty bumps but it was going to get scratched anyway.
The spots on my car are not really too bad it is just chipped to the white coating. There are just about 30+ of them through so it may just be easier to have a professional sand the area and repaint it. I also have a few parking lot dents I like to get addressed as well.

@sunofwolf thanks, I really love the Blue Honda uses. I orginally had a Black 2012 coupe I got back in 2011 when they came out. After my wife got pregnant I needed something bigger and the I wanted a 2013 Accord with the V6 manual but couldn't find one. At the time they had my SI sitting on the show room floor and I kept going back to look at and I ended up wanting it more.

I have some touch up paint. I am also worried about the air conditioner condenser- It is perfectly placed to have tiny rocks go though it and seems very flimsy, perhaps a plastics screen of some sort in front to catch stones.

It's been a few weeks, but I don't think I ever posted after I got everything installed -
Swift Spec-R lowering springs
Truhart front struts and Koni Sport rear shocks
Buddy Club adjustable rear upper control arms
Advan RZ-II wheels 17x8" et37
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ 225/45R17
There's a bit of poke (if these wheels had an offset of +43 they'd be about perfect) but not much.

No rub, but I drive like a pansy.

Today I cut out and installed the 94-01 Map light on my 95 Civic. Hopefully I got it in there straight and even. Now just to figure out why the lights don't come on.

Did a ceramic coating on the rims and calipers tonight. Plan on detailing inside and out tomorrow but just checked the weather, thunderstorms next 4 days. :-/

What kind of ceramic product did you use?

Mcguire's hybrid ceramic wax. Did the Si and the A3 a month ago and water beads like a champ. There are a lot of utube vids of people disliking the product but I am a believer.

I’ve also seen a lot of good reviews on it
