That looks awesome Did you go to a local shop to get it painted and how much was it?

Looks great!

On another note, I personally like the look of the Iroc's and the Z-28's without the lower two tone stripes. Just looks more cleaner.

 

I love the color scheme.

 

wow! that is... fantastic!

nice paint job

cool lookin car

 

Looking real good. Didn't you have jims85iroc's dads shop do it. Looking good post more pictures when you get a chance!

 

Looks Great!

 

2-tone not my thing but it looks good on that car.

 

Maybe when I am ready for paint I'll send mine to Jim85IROC's dads shop too.

That looks damn good!!

 

Jim85IROC's Father painted it for me.

Labor and paint, it cost $2k.

I am beyound pleased with the quality. I wasn't expecting it to come out so good.

 

Too bad I dont live in MA

what town is his shop in and whats it called

 

Very nice look for the car. Is that the original factory color scheme?

 

North Adams, MA

Yes.

 

im not good with western mass. is it anywhere near ayer? i used to work in devens so thats as far out west as i know.

 

Good call sticking with the original look.

 

did you get any body work done?

 

Oh gosh, it's beautiful. Good for you.

 

It's in the north-western corner of the state. It's about an hour east of Albany, and about 20 minutes north of Pittsfield.

There was some body work done. All of the ground effects & mirrors were removed and prepped separately. This included fixing a few dings in them. The body was decent overall, but there were the usual dings here and there. The rear 1/4 panel on the passenger side had some rust in the wheel well opening that required some minor welding. Overall the car was pretty solid though, definately better than the vast majority of the thirdgens in the area.

 

i love the two tone paint job but i think im partial, that looks cool and the bickets are even painted black , most people who do repaints have the buckets the body color.looking good , now get the car out to some shows and have fun .

 

your car looks great!! I love that blue. Thumbs up on painting the headlight pockets too

 

ok, i know where i'm going when it's time to paint the trans am. it's a couple hours away, but from the looks of it, it's worth it

 

Same color combo as my car, looks good!!!

 

Wow, only 2K for all of that work? It's worth the drive from the midwest!

 

If I remember right, the very first time I came across Jim85Iroc, I was sitting at a set of lights and he pulled up in his GTA. If I remember correct, it was missing some parts of the GFX and was looking like someone went off-roading with it.

Could just be poor memory, but the first time I saw it after fresh paint at another light, it looked beyond clean & straight. If you check his site out and look at his Iroc-z, that thing had seen it's punishment on the body and looks like him & his father ressurrected it.

I just bought some paint tools myself, and I'm still in the process of doing expirimental body work & painting on the truck, so far so good. I'll probably repaint the entire thing again so I become more familiar with the gun and painting properly.

I figure I CAN do better than any Maaco quality paint job, if I can do that I will be satisfied.
