Fresh paint on the GTA
It took awhile, but its done. just in time for the end of the week went out on a long drive and camping in the mountains over the weekend
Before:
After:
Not much of a difference but the old paint had alot of paint chips, clear coat peel, overspray which i wanted to clean and just went ahead and repainted the whole thing. I left the wing off because I dont like it...and the wing is cracked with lots of indents in the rubber that i have no idea how to fill...so i'm just going to shop around for a later model camaro high rise spoiler...cause those are badass.
It looks more badass with the wing off anyways...and less like a Gorge Jetson car...lol

Come on, doesn't that look like fun?
P.S. Your tires would look a million times better with some armor all

Other than doing a high quality job, that's where half the fun is I'll link you to a thread on my current Dodge dakota project

Re: Fresh paint on the GTA
The only thing I've heard about armor all is that if you spray it around where you're going to be painting you'll get fish eyes. There are other things that you can just wipe on the wheels and don't have to spray anywhere though.

Re: Fresh paint on the GTA
its a little more satisfying when you can take your car down to the frame rails like im doing to my dime since im bagging it anyway i could see disassembling more if he were painting it different color so i think he did enough hey its his car
