I got the car painted last fall, but I'm just now getting around to posting the pics of it.

Here's a link to a thread from a few years ago with it in its orginal glory.

And here (hopefully) are some new pics of it. It took me forever to decide what color to paint it, but I settled on this.

Ahh damnit!! I'll keep trying.

And another

And last one

Dude I love the look of your car!!! The that year z28 hood and the IROC spoiler were meant to be together. NICE!!!

Thanks man. I've still got to add some 17" Polished IROC's with the centers painted in gunmetal and will probably paint the taillights red, but that's it for the outside.

I've also managed to replace the 305 TBI for a brand spakin' new 350. I haven't had it dynoed yet, but it should be around 350 HP and 400+ lb/ft.

Hey nice way to represent the Rally Sports..what color exactly is that??

Sweet Color
Looks Great!

Pepper Gray Metallic w/ semi-gloss black trim and headlight sockets. It's the same paint code used on Eleanor in the newer "Gone in 60 Seconds." It's a really neat color, because under low light, it almost looks pewter, but when the sun hits it, it turns to a "sebring silver" type color.

damn looks good.

did you remove the trailer hitch?

lol man nice choice, looks kick ***, get some pics with the polished rims

Oh i forgot to add..good decision with painting the centers of the irocs gunmetal..you have some good taste!! Be sure to post pics when you mount them.

Thank you for keeping the door moldings on car looks sweet.

My goal is to keep the car rather stock looking. I'm not changing the hood or the wheels or anything that doesn't appear stock. Even my cat-back is a Dynomax that looks just like the stock set-up and isn't very loud at all. It's just my beautiful, suttle sleeper.

Sexy...

Very nice

Where did you get that Paint Job done? And how much did it cost you?


Looks awsome.

B-e-a-utiful.

get some pics in the sun and post em up.

Your car looks awesome, looks like you have new parking lights too?

Every light on there except for the tails, are new. I also replaced any GFX panel that was cracked or messed up in some way too. . . and the passenger side fender was replaced. It had slid into a curb while on ice back when the former driver had had it, but it wasn't anything major, so they just pulled the fender out, but it had these little crinks in it along the well lip that just drove me insane, so I replaced that as well.

its a totally different car . the car looks good , i like the silver better than the teal .

Sure will , but it's going to be raining here for a few days, so we'll have to wait. Oh well, back to driving the beater (the white Pontiac in one of the pictures)

Gorgeous car! The silver looks unbelievable!! Keep it clean man, and take some more pics!!

do you have any more info on that paint? im lookin for a color to replace my stock gunmetal and that may be right up my alley. also i want to see some sunshine shots so i can see how it looks in the sun. nice btw!

awesome color! that is my seccond favorite color followed by SOM.

what color is that?

it looks awesome on your car!

You probably don't want to know.

And $2,000 was the hit. . . and that's with a color change, sanding it down, replacing the fender and a few other GFX pieces, jamming it out and repainting the trim.

do u have any pics of your car in the daylight??

I think thats a pretty fair price for the job they did. I got an estement on my camaro the other day for $2500.

damn i love that color...love your car bro

Thumbs up on the paint job. Wish my car looked 1/2 as good as yours. (drooling....) I'll get mine paitned once I get my engine project running.

No it's been raining all day and supposed to do so most of the week, but I'll get her a good bath and post some pics for yall. I'm just happy that alot of people seem to like it. It took about 2 years and 2 different theaters of operations worth of planning and saving for me to get her to where she is now, but I'm almost there.

Got to love the tax free and danger pay. I'll be getting that soon enough.

Ahhh... red dirt and pine trees. Home...

~sigh~

Where in GA are you, Gunny? I grew up around Ft. Gordon. Folks are still there.

Oh.., I don't know what to say about your car that hasn't already been said but that color is pretty special to me. I really think that color rocks.

I'm just north of Atl in the Marietta/Kennesaw area.

VERY nice indeed! Keep up the good work!

Small world.

Fawk Dude that **** looks bad *** what color is that?

Lookin good man, glad your getting that thing done. No engine shots? I know its not raining now Hope to see you at the gathering again this year, with your car this time

Yeah, hopefully I'll be there again. . . what are the dates this year?

I was hoping to have the wheels on and the interior done by that time, but other things came up. Engine pics can be found in the TBI forum. Just search for threads started by me.

Car looks great. I like that color a lot.

May 27-29, its always memorial day weekend www.fbodygathering.com

Oh come on, wheels takes a few hours to paint and I dunno what all you need on interior but it cant take that long.

Time aint the issue, it's money.

I was looking at getting 17" polished IROCs w/ BFG KDW tires, and I still need headliner. ($1400 for the wheels and tires and ?$?$ for the top)

I had all new buttons for the interior, but now I can't find them. I lost them when I moved.

Beautiful Color! That came out great. I'm glad you're happy with it. I like the whole subtle sleep theme.

Sorry to bring this post back from the dead... but I cant help but wonder if you've gotten pics of the car in the daylight yet?

The contrast between that color really lets chrome become more "naturally" added to the car w/o looking weird since there's no chrome trim or anything.

I also love how the color shows off the contours of your car, espescially the 91-92 ground effects.

Yeah that Silver really is a nice color, keep up the exellent work!

SEXY!!!!!!
