This is a layout for a paint job I am considering, just looking for some feedback. Thanks

 

Looks nice, what colors (Exactly.) were you thinking of using?

 

im not sure the exact name but the stock blue on my 87 Formula, and just a gloss black, also plan on converting to a T-top car

 

Is that the dark mettalic blue? If so, a black pearl would look good mixed into the black....

 

Yeah I think It is, I kinda thought the same thing, if i do it I plan on smoking out the lights all around as well. the gas cap will more than likely be blue, when i bought my car the gas cover was red and all I had was flat black spray paint and It came out kinda cool looking.

 

What would look really cool if you want to make a statement would be to spray the taillights with a mixture of Black tint, pearl black and clear. That would look killer, and I'm pretty sure you wont see another one like it!!!
Also, before you cut the roof, Install WELD-IN subframe connectors. You will be really happy you did. I have two T-top cars and one hardtop car. All three have SFC's and the T-top cars are only about as stiff as the hardtop was without SFC's. It takes a lot out of them.

 

that sounds pretty sweet there is a guy by me selling a set of stock tail lights cheap, I'm actually having the roof done by a friend who is a very talented body man, I also plan on getting SFCs, don't worry I've put plenty of thought into it

 

It sound like you have put a lot of thought into it. So many people dont!! A talented bodyman is a must. Where are you located? I have a friend who is cutting up a really nice 87 IROC with T-tops. It wouldnt take much to get you the roof...

 

I'm in Michigan, Metro-Detroit area, that would be pretty cool! I really have put alot of thought into it. I figure If I'm going to do it I might As well do it right

 

I'm not sure what it weighs, or what it would cost to ship. You could always PM him and see He is sfeeney Located in AZ He does this for extra income and his prices are fair.

 

i would definatly paint the gas door body color if not the gas door and the door handle. but i like the idea of black ground effects and black deck lid. two questions, What is the legal window tint where you live? and would you be painting the hood black or blue?

 

not sure on the tint laws exactly, also I dont have ground effects. The deck lid itself will be blue like the car, The spoiler will not have paint, I have the heavy "whale Tail" spoiler and paint doesnt stick very well, it cracks easy and fast. not the best pic but hey i did it in paint

 

no man, the picture is pretty dam good. i just dont know the diffrent body components of the firebirds all that well. i thought your were going for a two tone paint job with the top all blacked out including the glass.

 

Been meaning to update you guys on the paint, got it done, was rearended and traded work with a custom car shop to get it fixed. heres some pics of it now.

 

Great color and congrats on making the conversion to a t-top (no better way to enjoy the summer unless you own a boat!).

 

Looks great! Thanks for posting the update. I am planning something very similar with the 86, same wheels I have too!
