cursed paint job????
Ok. After driving my 84 Z around for two years in primer I finally Got it painted metallic silver(House of kolor)( will post pics soon).
My baby looks gorgeous now and everywhere I go someone comments on it and asks who did the paint. They are always appalled that I was the painter along with my dad and his friend.
Anyways she has been painted for two weeks exactly today and she is already giving me problems. I blew an oil line day after painting, Few days after that I get a leaky header. Monday my CD head unit fries the amp preouts and I loose my sound all together, wednesday my defroster, heater,A/C go out all at once. No biggy dont need it yet. Then tonight my shifter cable frays and I cant put the car in any gear but drive and then all I get is 1st gear. Then to top off my adventures, through out this all I remained calm until this last incident, I pull into the garage so that I can change my oil and my shifter cable and I run over my dad's jack/stand for his Harley. I won, but it made sure it gouged the front spoiled all the way down to the gray primer she used to be covered in. Is it just me or does my car hate me
But hey just gotta take it all in stride and give her what she wants......more of my money pumped into her.

Why are they appalled? Appalled means they get dismayed, upset, disgusted etc. that you painted it. Nonetheless it sucks about what's going on....hope you get things sorted out quick. Pics would be nice, can't wait to see those, I like silver cars. =)

sorry wrong word choice it was too late and my brain was fried from all my fun times with my car working on her know as we speak. Maybe she just needed some TLC.

Thanks drew
