They look amazing!!!

 

Killer!

 

Thanks!

 

This is my 1st time painting anything

 

That's really looking good!

 

Your car is looking great. I can't wait to see it finished. I'm in the process of finishing mine up from repaint. My carpet should be here by tomorrow and then I'll get to put all my interior back in.

 

Thanks. I cant wait to finish mine, been drivin a ford taurus. That thing is slow

 

Just ordered a set of taillights from third gen ranch!

 

My "custom spray tinted lights" Clear and black paint mixed

 

My custom third brake light

 

BIG update!!! rims redone and carpet on panels installed!!

 

And the carpeted panels. Also repainted all the interior plastic panels and door panels

 

Also new tail lights and repainted center section

 

Nice - the car looks great!

 

from 20 feet away and pics it does! lol, I got a bunch of runs in it lol

 

I had to re do the marker lights on the front, 2 times of bein pulled over for it got my attention. Now all the marker lights and third brake light is smoked but in the legal limit. Now to do the tail lights. I may just leave em. What ya'll think?

 

Nothing a little wet sanding can't fix!

 

I'm hopefully gonna wetsand and buff the whole car

 

Your car looks absolutely amazing. I've never seen a 'bird with a two-tone color scheme like like using the gunmetal gray(?) for the GFX, but I like it. Good job!

 

Thanks. I haven't either. The factory color is bright red and silver for ground effects, I ain't sure what the red is but its off a 75 TA and the ground affects are gunmetal gray. Alot of people were worried about it bein to dark with red

 

This paint scheme has been done before. This is member Copchaser

 

Dangg I wish my car looked that good lol, what rims are those?

 

Don't remember. Go to the wheels section on the board and look at the second to last page on "Best aftermarket wheels" thread.

 

If only I could afford them. Well I got headliner in, door panels at the upholstery shop, wetsanded and re cleared my tail lights and removed the cruise control set up. left side inner fender looks bare lol

 

Nice!

 

Blacked out engine bay, cowl panel, intake tubing, wiring loom, brake booster, a/c and blower motor. Did a throttle body coolant bypass, and refinished the last rim. Bedlinered both rear inner quarters. Also painted the PONTIAC in the rims red and the fins on the plenum.

 

Pics!

 

filled in the windshield channel gap to "make" a windshield trim with windshield urethane and wetsanded and buffed out the runs. U can tell on the door where I wetsanded and buffed and you can see where it has orange peel.

 

Why didn't you buy a new windshield trim? They are only about 10 bucks and you could have saved yourself the headache.

I have one, just couldn't get it to stay in in some places

 

Was it a new one? I think they only work one time and then they won't stay put.

 

Yes it is, When I put the windshield in, I didn't put the trim around it because the car wasn't painted yet

 

BIG update, well sort of. Got my new speakers (Boss Audio Chaaos Special Edition) and 2 channel amp (Soundstorm) put in and wired up. For 100$ It sounds awesome!

 

Also my radio, JVC KD something

 

Ok I am just now starting to use the site not sure if this is where i should be posting but i would appreciate your opinions.
Car looks pretty good from about 20 ft but paint is pealing on the bumper and has some rust on passenger wheel well as well as on the window rails.
trying to decide between
silver
gray
or blue

feel free to give me any other ideas you may have

 

Check this out: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/body...lor-paint.html.
Also go to the Body section of the forum, and post a new thread, post a pic of your car and the problem areas. How bad is the rust? If it is just surface rust you can wire wheel it, spray rust kill on it, then bondo over it. If it is through the metal you will have to replace it or patch it.

 

Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

 

Scored today!! got a set of fourth gen front seat belts (dark grey) for 15 bucks!! Can't wait to put them in tomorrow. Also my set of front seatbelts is for sale as of tomorrow, they work pretty good, faded from sun, grey in color (I'd like to get 15 dollars shipped), but give me your best offer and they are yours!! Also put a tps sensor on today and car runs a ton better!

 

Buffed out the left side of the car today, gonna finish the other side tomorrow, also got my seat belts in and they look great!!

 

got my front dash speaker grills back from being re covered, cut out the center of them also. They said my door panels would be ready friday, can't wait to get them back! Thats pretty much all I have left

 

Here she at the car show finished

 

Nice!

 

Looks good! Are you going to replace all of the factory graphics or leave it plain?

 

Thanks! I have all new decals on it, 88 didn't have the one on the hood, the only 2 I put in the correct place was the trans am name on the fenders and the phoenix on the sail panel. I put the 5.0 L Fuel Injection decal on the hood by the side vents and the trans am bumper names in the middle of the side they went on instead of right along the ground affect

 

More pics

 

Still have to put some exhaust tips on, hood pins, upholster headliner, repaint left eye lid, black out front fender liners

 

must say its lookin good

 

thanks, alot better than what it was!

 

Definately, I need to get mine painted bad. The front half of the car is a different shade of white than the rear half, and there's peeling and flaking everywhere. About time for a visit to Macco or something.

 

don't go to macco lol, a beginner can do better than they can haha
