Hi i’m Nolan and i have a 2010 Honda Civic. In this video i will show you how to sand, use body filler, and paint your car with good results! The video is laid out in a step by step format so you can reference it if you decide to paint a car yourself! Im growing my instagram @diy_civic and i would appreciate it if you guys gave me a follow! Also if you could follow @_liamcairns_ as he was my photographer through all of this! I have never had any experience in body work before and this was my first try! Just realize that it is a lot of work but it is so worth it when the car is finished. I hope everyone is safe and healthy, thanks for watching this video and have a great day! Subscribe!

Plot twist, sucks to get this comment now, but some Honda civics of that design were covered under warranty for paint peeling etc. Call your Honda dealership and give VIN to service to see if it can be covered
I think you should have sanded the rusty parts to bare metal
Dont ever use 80 on a job like that 😓
Atleast 180 on damaged clear only then prime it also the bondo spot u have to grind down the rust if not its not going to last long
Then sand it all with 600 it will come out more cleaner no sand marks.
Dude, which part of Canada looks like a central Europe??? 🙂
Wouldn't a Macco job be roughtly the price you spent on the materials & they do they labor themselves? Just curious. I know you filled in body work too, so they may alter the price a bit. Anybody have experience with Macco? Would they sand the body down, or do they just go & paint over everything in hops that it'll cover up the peeling clear coat? Thanks.
U save at least 7k or more, nice vid
You should have removed the front and rear light fixtures to avoid potentially scratching them as you sand.
Thank you Nolan!
Hello what kind of compressor did you use? What kind of air gun did you use? Nice job
