Painted the headlight buckets.
Was kinda bored the day and we painted the buckets on the Formula black.
I did the same to my Trans Am a few years ago and I really like the look.

Do you have plans of ever getting either car professionally painted? Over the years I've watched you swap rims about 20 times, throw in a new motor, change hoods multiple times, and completely redo your interiors. I'am sure I'am not the only one thinking this but maybe it's time to get a new paint job done and not talking about a rattle can special either. Sorry to sound kind of harsh but it's been years now and I'am sure you can afford it.

I am probably going to get the Formula painted in Sept or October.
The Trans Am won't be painted till next year sometime.

I can't say I like the 'pockets' painted myself.. doesn't gel with the rest of the car as it does on a camaro.

I don't like the buckets painted black on camaros either...I don't know why everyone is obsessed with it...my 88 didn't come like that and never will be.

I like it, looks really nice! IMO, woulda looked a little better with semi-gloss, like the Camaro's had.
