Well, after a long, long while, along with a long wait My car is finally getting painted.


Here is a preview of what to expect, sorry for the low quality. once it's done the whells should come in a few weeks (ordered already)

Let me know what you think.

 

Here's another..

 

last one..

Sorry I can't do multiple photos

 

What color is that. It is going to look good.

 

thanks,
I believe it's called viper steel gray pearl metallic. came on Dodge vipers only for like 00' and 01'

The car will have all the stock iroc badges, and decals, and stripes when done. Only holding out on wether to put the Iroc door decal back on or not. probably leaning towards doing it.

The wheels will be a suprise, I've only seen one other car on these boards with the same wheels I'm gettting.

The hood vents are getting repainted as well.

The pics above do not do the car justice, once it's wet sanded and bufffed it should look insane

 

Looking good!

 

What was the original color of the car? Did you have the door jams painted too? Doesn't look too bad!

 

that's gonna be sweeeeeet! go with the door decals; be proud it's an iroc. keep us posted.

 

damn looks like mine...I just painted my yesturday

 

yea defenitly looks good!

c'mon...give us a hint of these wheels. or send me a pm

 

82 Firebird - It was a gunmetal gray car, and the jams will be done later. Not a perfect paint job, but pretty close. they guy who did it specializes in low riders, and other show cars.

Camaros Rus - I'm waiting on intro to get done, sorry no big wheels here -17" -8" in frt, and 10" in the back- 18" would have looked better but I didn't want the ride of 18's - (5 spoke,dished)

89Firebird- looks good - pretty similar- is that gunmetal?

 

can you give me some info on the paint? thats the exact color i want to replaint my gunmetal grey 91 and want to get the paint code and maybe even some prices if you dont mind.

 

thats the color i was thinking of. i wanted to change mine a little from the stock gunmetal, but not too much so i wouldnt have to do jambs and such very thoroughly. let me see how it turns out comparing the quarter panel to the door jam. i will be painting myself so i could probably figure out if i would wanna do it or not. thanks a lot.

 

Came out of the booth today. Got the lower stripes put on.

still waiting for wet sanding and buffing......

Car is that shiney strait out of the booth.

 

Sorry I don't know the code, I'll see if I can get it. Materials at cost I believe is arround $500.

another pic..

oh yeah in the 1st one there are no stripes and the hood is cracked open. it doesn't have a gap in the front, now the trunk lid is a different story..

 

Another....

If anyone is interested in the wheels they will be going cheap...

 

why would you lay down stripes before sanding and buffing? actually, do you mean painting stripes? or the ones that run along the bottom above the gfx? if you are talking about the stickers you should put those on later. what kind of wheels are they? i might wanna see some better pics of them.

 

ZZ4, I'm not actually doing the work so I don't know the resoning. and yes these are just the bottom two Iroc stripes(tape)

The wheels are classic ARE 5 stars 16x8 on 255 kuhmos

This car is not getting any painted stripes or graphics, just me but I prefer Irocs with the "stock " look, lowered with wheels....Think they are good looking the way they came from GM. but I know every one has their own tastes..

 

my color is like gunmetal..but i mixed it myself at the shop. We can mix up any paint. It has lots of metallics on it when you look at it in light. I did my jambs and everything. I need ot put everything back together. I paid 300 for materials and its R-M finishes paint which is made by basf.

 

I would be interested in the rims that are on the car. Can you email me at shenett_john@bentley.edu? I would like to see some pics of all 4 rims, and i would like to see what you want for them.

 

Sweet!

 

looks great! as for the cost, is that with any sort of discount or is that a price i could get it for later on if i wished? PLEASE get back to me with the paint code cuz if things work out soon, ill be needing it.
