well my car is to be doe and ready to drive by september 29th(16th birthday) but i was wonderin what yall think since im in highschool. im gettin the trans am ground effects to go on my firebird first then im thinkin about doin the body work and sprayin it down witha few coats of black primer and leaving for a while til i can really afford to paint it metallic orange. so what do yall think about that? try not to flame me. i kno primer is alabamas main color but go easy lol

 

glad to see young thirden owners. I say go for it, if the paint on it is that bad.

 

the paint isnt that bad but if u go to my cardomain site u can see that the front is in good condition but the back is faded away and its got a big dent in the back that needs to be pushed out and its got scratches all on it so yah its gonna have body work done and i think it will look pretty good. anybody got any pics of primer or black primered birds or T/A's?

 

who cares, you're 16 and driving a 350 firebird....by the time you're a senior it could be the way you imagined it (hell mine only took a year)....and everyone will have seen and appreciated the amount of work you put into it

 

 

I personally dont knock bad paint
I mean, is having shiny paint really worth all the stress about it getting scratched
I like my chipping clear coat job
I can sit stuff on it hit my keys on the door slide stuff over it and all and it wont hurt a thing
I'll get it painted one day

Anyway im just tired and running my mouth

 

Ive been working on my car for 6 1/2 years now it is nowhere near completetion, and black primer looks pretty cool on anything, i had my car painted about 6 months ago, and ive drove it live 5 times since and i already put a small scratch in it.
And when i was in High School everyone hit everything, so dont even paint it until you get out of school
