new paint

just got my car painted, after being primed/sealed for years. it was my dad's beater car until it was passed on to me 8 months ago, until i find the car im looking for.

https://www.thirdgen.org/rides/index...w&rideid=10098

first time i got a picture of a car up here too. still need to buff the entire car, get rid of the orange peel, and then mount the small rear wing, front and rear marker lights, and parking lights.

thanks, its a fairly lighter shade of gunmetal grey. i was thinking of new wheels, but i dont know if im keeping it. i found a smashed 91 firebird down the road from me with formula wheels and lower mileage, might want to swap wheels/motors :-)

dont worry about the wheels man, everyone tells me i need new ones. It does brind down the look with the particular color we have.

I'm gonna get me some new 4th gen firehawk rims,

(its photoshopped man)

edit: i fixed the pic to pake it look more real

thanks for the compliments, grey cars are badass

im looking for a V8 car, preferably TPI and ttops, leaning more to the 88-92 formula or 87-90 iroc cars, that arent beat to all heck. around here, most are rusted like crazy.
