well looiks like thigns have totally turned around for ya man, i'm thinking ill have to hit up the shop next time im out towards casa grande, i'm actually looking at having evit do mine, i know both autobody instructors and its pretty cheap too, they do really good work too i had them fix the dents and dings on my lancer and they filled and painted them to match for like 75 bucks. One of the kids there has had his firebird there this entire year and he's been working on it every day, looks good even in its all sanded down phase

 

Here are more pics of it after wet sanding was almost finished.

And the car is on the ground, too.

dam man i love that color

 

Thanks, man.

I cannot wait to see the frickin' color in the sun! They are painting the headlight cutouts flat black, like they were originally. That will look nice.

Grrrrr.

I am tired of waiting.

At least it is finally painted.

 

so whats the time fame for u getin that baby back??

 

They haven't told me when they'll be done.

They're that way, ya know.

I would guess no longer than Friday.

The hood still isn't painted....at least, it wasn't painted last night when I was there.

Nice. Almost the same color i'm painting mine. It needs the irocz graphics though. And think about changing the wheels to the gold style like mine. would look better with the darker color. That's why i'm planning on painting mine crimson pearl is it will contrast better with the gold. Glad you got it back. Be carefull. wouldn't want to have to wait for another 2 months for it. Really is good looking.

 

dam looks good man glade to see its all back to geather, u putin the iroc decals back on or just leaven it?

 

Thanks!

I waited way longer than 2 months.

Yeah, I plan to get aftermarket wheels one day.

I also plan to put the Z28 emblems on it, but I am not sure about the IROC Z decals yet.

I just installed my stereo system today, and I am getting a new factory steering wheel.

 

Put ur iroc decals back on it they seem to set the car off better but it looks great.

 

looks good

 

What a gorgeous car! Good job. I've not seen, until now, a metallic red on a third gen that looked better than the original Dark Red Metallic/Flame Red Metallic. Awesome! I read the thread's in's and out's as well. We need more success stories like this here

 

 

Thanks guys!

I am quite happy with it, too!

 

Looks Beautiful!! Wow It looks like a 3-5k paint job... the bodywork is better then most ive seen also.

 

just like people, threads like to die peacefully, lets try to not resurrect old posts like this

 

Hmm I didnt know it was old.. It showed up as a recent post On my computer..

 

I would recommend their SEMI FLAT Black paint, matched up exactly!


Kevin

 

Damn kevin whats with you and the semi flat, and shouldn't you be fixing your car instead of being online.

Sorry to get off subject, your car looks great, hope mine looks that good when i get around to finishing up the paint. some times it takes an accident to get them looking good.

 

I'm back on the forums again. I am IROCless, at the moment, but I am working on buying this nice 86 I found. It's in nice shape. Too bad it has the 305 in it, but it will do, until I do my swap.
