Its not black Its dark blue. Everyone always thinks its black until its in the sun and they see the blue metalic in it. Its as close to the factory color as possible without a paint code (couldn't find one anywhere).

 

oops . that doesn't change my mind. i still think it looks awsome. good luck with it.

 

Thanks for the complements everyone! Here are some before PICS taken the day i got the car back in january of 2001. There's a more pictures page, ignore the workcited page--this is a website i made a long long time ago lol

 

Thats really sharp looking. I'm not a fan of two tone, but that looks really good!

 

now that you mentioned a dark blue, i see it. Looks very great. I am not a fan of two tone either, but this makes me change my mind.

nice bird

 

Very nice. Looking at the before pics I can see that it has come a long way.

 

Looks nice and Stock! I love it!

 

Man that looks awesome. I really like the two tone on it as well, keep up the nice work!

dude i love your car! everytime i see the pic in your sig it reminds me of my T/A. its eerie how much our cars look alike...and i have key marks, a fender that needs replacing AND i swear we must have the same slashes on our consoles! lol...nice paint job too buddy. if you dont mind, whered you get it done and how much was it? any body work involved? and what decals did you put on and were they expensive? thanks.

 

Trans Am 88:

Thanks for the complement, u have a sweet ride too.

The paintjob was done by a place called Dealers Only for $1800 (would have been 2.5k but knew someone there). The only reason it was painted was because it was backed into and the insurance had to paint about half the car anyways ($900) so i paid another 1k for the painjob plus the decals there going to put on, on the 28th (wich was $110 more for the decals/stripe kit).

The only body work involved was done by the shop wich included my fender, all the door dings, and a few minor dents on the hood. The smoothed down the whole car and put a sealer over it before they painted it. The bumper ofcourse needed to be sanded and an adhesive put on for the paint to stick to.

The decals are from Phoenix Graphix and are the original style. It comes with the stripe kit, fade dot striping, 3bird decals, and 4 Trans Am decals for $185 including shipping.

Good luck with your ride!

 

You got it! Hey, it's running now, so no more jokes

 

Very, Very Nice.

Would love to see it in person.

 

Very nice, man I've always enjoyed seeing pics of your car, really nice, Great looking car!!

 

the paint looks amazing but your passenger side headlight needs some aligning.

 

I like the two-tone paint...Keep the progress pics coming.
