83 Firebird new paint
i got sick of looking at all the rust on my Bird, so i decided to paint her, finally. i did all the body work and prep myself, for the first time. i painted her myself, also for the first time. i set up a carport in my backyard as a makeshift paint booth. i used Rustoleum Auto primer and paint. i'm more than happy with the way it turned out. not as good as a professional paint job, but it looks a LOT better and there's no more rust, so i'm happy.
there are more pics in the link in my sig in the "Tiffany" album.

Re: 83 Firebird new paint
thanks for the feedback! it was time consuming to get the headlights to fit properly, but not difficult. it just took some ingenuity. and i was going for unique. figured no one else had done this before so why not give it a shot. i like the headlight conversion bc its more functional, and less non-aerodynamic. and i can't believe the paint turned out as nicely as it did. i've been getting nothing but compliments from friends and even strangers....and a lot of looks lol. i think the exhaust catches people's attention.
