-DIY LED gauge bulbs.
-DIY Tint 5% in the back and 15% on the front or 15% all around??

I first got my car in Feb 2007 and the paint was almost perfect. Even with waxing often and everything else i did, 4 year later this is what my car looks like...blahhhhh lol...im pretty sure this is common in dark color 6thgen accords.

Don't worry it was the DEP...practically all of them had fading issues. I've had mine painted twice and the color is so nice, just the oem job was shotty

how much u get ur painted for?

and does anyone kno where i can get DEP spray paint?

Holy cancer batman!

Sherwin Williams auto can make up a spray can for you...

theres other places as well, like paintscratch. com i believe

My paint is fading quickly too. It used to be just a few small spots, but lately its been growing noticeably. I think I'm going to repaint it soon, mine's NHBP though

That much in 4 years!? Holy monkey. Good luck with the bodywork.

I-I-I-Ice cream paint job haha....

surprisingly, i have an 01 sedan also with the dark emerald paintjob....

but there are absolutely no fade spots to be found....

and its never had special attention...not even a coat of wax...

but then again, the florida sun beats down harder than the ohio snow haha...

Ive taken care of my paint really good over the past few years. I have noticed tiny spots that are only a thin layer of clear start to fade. My temporary fix is dabbing tiny dots of "hard as nails" nail polish on the spots and every other week I wax the roof, hood, and trunk. I cant afford a paint job so Im doing the best I can to slow the fading.

good luck with the paint project. it'll be nice to see the end product.

I think this might have something you need:http://www.automotivetouchup.com/index-fs-left.htm.
