hey guys, im getting my TA painted tomorrow at earl shiebs for a pretty good price and i can't decide on what color should i get. I'l be glad if any of u guys can post some pics of color that will look sweet on a trans am. thanks

 

red!!!

 

I suggest some other color than any at earl schieb

 

yeah they was not as many color scheme that they had that i liked. I wanted to get my car painted viper steel grey but they don't have that color. the colors that they had that i mostly liked is platnium silver metallic, ruby red metallic, and i think its baltic blue

 

MAKE SURE YOU WASH THE CAR VERY GOOD BEFORE YOU GIVE IT TO THEM.....ALSO go out and get a scotch bright red scuff pad...go to an autoparts or autobody store and scuff the entire car very well...prep work is where it is at. Their paint will stick for ALOT longer if you make sure the car is scuffed entirely dull before you bring it there.

 

they charging me 600 bucks on the paint including new color. what they told me that they going to machine sand and also hand sand my original paint down to where it will stick and reprimer my car and then 2 coats of paint and then 2 coats of clear. They getting out some of the minor dings i have on my doors. they also have to put a layer of fiberglass on my spoiler since its cracking. they have to do some extra sanding on my roof because it started to rust so they said that they gonna sand down to the metal. they be using urethane paint and a 6 year warrenty. they will also oven baked my car. i think its a badazz price with all the work that has to be done on my car. then again i don't know taht much about paint and body work.

i think blues with grey-silver gfx look amazing, plus they are a little more uncommon, but red or black are always bad ***

 

he he

 

well u guys i went back to earl schiebs in san jose adn i was checking out the colors and its between these choices of color: dark blue metallic or pewter metallic. the grand total for my paint job is 771 including painting door jams and all the body work. i think its a good price.

 

Pewter metallic gets my vote.

Too many blue cars popping up lately....

 

I'm glad you could find a place that ask such a low price. I would just like to remind everyone that paint is like engines componants. The higher the price, the best quality. Like any mechanics shops, you can't garanty (sp?) if the work will be done properly but the garage has a reputation to keep. As for preping the car before giving it to the shop, I'd say that if you have to do that, don't bring your car there. Paint is very expensive, which most ppl don't seem to understand and if you have to prep your car and pay 700 bucks to get it paint after, I would worry very much. If you trust the guys there I say go ahead and I hope you find a good paint you will like.. post pics after

 

Dark blue W/ Silver ground effects!

 

project 1986 ta ur car look sweet.

Irhal: i was checking out some of their cars that they had over there that is getting the same package as mine and it looks pretty good.

They had one more paint scheme that i like and it was a black cherry color. black cherry almost look like those blackish purple paint that the new hondas civics and accords have. If u guys know waht im talking about
