FINALLY Painted!!!!!
Well, as the title states, I FINALLY got my TransAm painted. It's been too long, but it's finally all coming together. Picked the car up on wed, had the windows tinted thurs, just snapped the pics today. I'm really happy with the way everything came together, and it's a whole hell of a lot better than 8 different colors, or the flat black primer that it was for forever. I know a couple of you guys were anxious to see it get painted too, so here ya all go! Let me know what you think.

looks great, now all u have to do is change your sig. o and is your hood lined up right. looks to me that there is a small gap between your hood and the front bumper. maybe it just the pic.

Car: Trans am
its ok , just ok , it needs to be lowered big time , its looks really high in the pics. the taillights needs a polishing big time and the nose needs to get thrown out , it needs a new nose or something because it looks like its sagging or pushed down . It makes the hood alignment look very bad at the front .

Metallic: It's a 20% tint all around
Nolanr: That is a brand new nose on it, the car was in an accident a while ago (may remember the thread... my car rolled down my back yard and into a tree), and I had the frame pulled, but as seen the pass side support was still a little too low, there is a little shadow on the nose too which makes it look worse than it really is.
I do plan on getting it lowered in the near future, can only afford one thing at a time, and when your car has been primer for months, and different colors for over a year, the paint job was more of a priority than lowering it. All in all i'm happy with how it is coming along, and hopefully i'll be able to take care of all the "little" things pretty soon.
Thanks for all the compliments guys.

the prob with black cars is that you can see how grey tires are.
needs lots of "tire wetter" or whatever you kids call it...

Love your car, the spoiler and hood play off of one another perfectly. Are those the 16" or 17" Trans Am wheels? I've been thinking about a set myself. What size tire are you running? and what spacers as well? Sorry for all the questions LOL

Thanks. I think they make a good combo too, and they look a whole heck of a lot better when they match the rest of the car!! The wheels are 16", and I have a 2" out back and 2 1/2" out front spacers from skulte. The tire is a 245/50/16.

Car looks great. Maybe the nose can adjusted or something. I have camaro so i am not sure if this can be done or not? The front end looks great otherwise. I love that particular style.. I would definatly stay with the plans of lowering it. I am going to lower mine this winter. Looks great keep it up.
