Before: ![http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e112/evilsrt/civicSmall.jpg](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e112/evilsrt/civicSmall.jpg) After: ![http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e112/evilsrt/7-21-07002.jpg](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e112/evilsrt/7-21-07002.jpg) ![http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e112/evilsrt/7-21-07001.jpg](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e112/evilsrt/7-21-07001.jpg) I painted the mirrors, door handles, moulding, side skirts, and license plate trim. After I finished those pieces looked better than the rest of the car so I polished/buffed the entire thing, then put a coat of wax on it. Not bad for an 8 year old car! ---
