Re: Most unique paint job you have seen?

The wildest 3rd gen paint job I have seen is the car I bought back in '95. It is the same '85 IROC that I still own but i had it repainted in '96 because it was showing it's age. what the picture doesn't show is the "IROC&Roll" that was on the rear bumper cover. It was very well done but a little over the top for me. When it was re-painted I went with solid yellow with dark charcoal wheels and decals instead of the gold.

call me crazy, but I kinda like that paint it has a nice 80's feel to it, but I probally would have done the same thing as you, and repainted it also

The car was originally titeled in Indiana so maybe there is a connection there.

This is from a second gen that popped up on craigslist here about half a year ago, one of the coolest hood birds Ive ever seen.
