Hopefully soon. I mean, it virtually hasn't changed in 2 and a half years. However I did slightly wreck it which cost me $1000 in repairs. All of that has since been fixed and its back on the road again.
I have been waiting for the weather to clear up in order to wax it for the first time since it was out of the body shop. It has been raining constantly for a while.
Re: "artistic" shots of Firebirds and T/A's, Post Up!
Yep, its been raining for 2 weeks straight, and I just checked the weather again.. it will be raining every day for at least another week. This is really starting to aggravate me, I want to wax my baby!
Re: "artistic" shots of Firebirds and T/A's, Post Up!
Haha, I have ALL KINDS of pictures They're not all artistic, but here are a few. I'm hoping to get some more good shots before summer is totally over...

Re: "artistic" shots of Firebirds and T/A's, Post Up!
Mine is Sunset Orange Metallic (I think Sonar's is too IIRC, but racer's is a Chrysler color "Go-Man-Go" or go mango). I believe it's GM paint code 71. I used PPG and it was like $130ish for a quart and I think it was $340-$400 for a gallon. Somewhere around that anyway. I also used DCU2002 clearcoat which is very slow drying and costs $200 for a gallon, but it is a very high quality clear and SHINES!!!
I agree, tan interior and white wheels should work well, I know mine looks great with the tan interior!
Re: "artistic" shots of Firebirds and T/A's, Post Up!
yes, quadgoat is correct, i am using 'go-man-go' (really describes the paint color huh?)...originally from chrystler it was 225 aquart, but if you go to a automotive paint store and tell them you want it mixed cheaper, they can mix the same basic color for 50 aquart, its a steal ithink....i painted my entire car for about 5-600 and i personally love the color and so do the judges at the last couple shows ive brought it to haha, i got a nice trophy to show for it

One last question, do those colours kinda change "shade" in high or low light?
Looks great on all three cars, hard to tell the differene.

I can tell you for sure that yes, Sunset Orange Metallic does change shade in different lights. Sometimes it looks orange, sometimes maroon, sometimes gold, sometimes brown, etc. It's a really great color. Go Mango does as well I believe, I've seen it on some of the Dodge trucks, it's a great color as well!
Re: "artistic" shots of Firebirds and T/A's, Post Up!
i know that my paint does change colors, it doesnt change as drastically as quadgoat's, it goes from a goldish color to the color that you see in my picture depending on the light...and see if you can give them this paint code
MBC954 D
thats what its listed as on my paint can
heres the code for go man go:
PVE QVE AVE B/C
and heres another one, its called sunburst orange and its found on the brand new vettes, its a simalar color and to mix it factory it is 125 a quart
They're not all artistic, but here are a few. I'm hoping to get some more good shots before summer is totally over...
The next two are from a car show this summer.
