92MaroRS

on my 92 there is a few tiny spots where the paint is starting to buble and rust under neath, not through though. it is run on the wheel well at the corner and i was wondering if a body shop can sand that down and just pain that area or woiuidl the whole body panel have to be painted. and also how much would a decent paint job on the rear bumber cover cost?


also i have a few questions about my rims. i would like to polish them but im wondering if i can have them sprayed with clear coat. and would this be durable or would it just peel off. also i was wondering how it would look if i painted the grooves in the rims to match the car.

IIRC 25 annervisery z28's had the grooves painted.

no there are grooves machined in them and they are the same color as the rims. also i dont have a z28 i have an RS

do u have the regular RS rims, or the optional 16 inch rims for 91-92? ill try to find a pic of the rims with the grooves painted

also what abou the rear 1/4 panel. it is bubleing and starting to rust. can a body shop sand down that area and reapaint that area and it would be hard to notice or should the whole body panel be painted

those are the rims i was talking about. On anniversery z28's or maybe it was part of the package and came with RS's too?? But the inlays (grooves) were painted body color, but only on red and white cars i believe. i couldnt find a pictures of it, even though i know i saw a picture on here very recently. Id say about the rust, get the whole panel painted unless the painter can match the paint very good.

well could i get the rims clearcoated then after im done so i dont have to keep polishing them every week or two to stop them from coroding?

i would think so, but ive never polished a set of wheels so i dont wanna tell u wrong.
