Firebird Project/ Two Tone Atomic Orange!

I met a guy on here (TGO) several months back, bought some parts from me for his firebird. He lives probably 45 mins from me, and has stoped by to see how my car was coming along. Then one day he askes how much would you charge to paint my car..I shot him a price and two days later its in my driveway. Iv had it for since this Monday. He wants to keep it factory silver on bottom and do an Atomic Orange on top. We are needing help with some ideas. Id like to see some two tone T/As. This car should turn out really slick and not take too long..

He couldnt decide how he wanted it two toned but here it is..Took a while to decide but paint turned out slick for a garage paint job..Its a little crazy for my taste but he wanted it! Im in the middle of wet sanding and buffing it so the pass side looks flat..

Man, that's pretty slick. I'm in the process of a kind of similar two tone on mine but alot less tribal.

I'm looking forward to final pics.

Re: Firebird Project/ Two Tone Atomic Orange!

The guy is younger that owns it but Im also young (20) and he has taken 2 or 3 cars to make one. He did all the motor work himself, I did all the body work and paint but for a car he wont have hardly any cash in..he should be very happy!
