Thanks! Its turning out really well, trying to get it all finished up, cant wait to get this pup on the road again... all I am lacking right now is the stripes and door decals...hope they are on the way!!

That satin looks PURRRFECT!! Can't wait to see it with the decals back one and complete

 

Looks amazing! I am about to start painting my ta and im trying to decide what brand paint to use did you use the single stage with clear or the 2 stage from summit?

 

I used base/clear from Summit. National Rule base and High Solids clear... VERY happy with both. The metallics in the base laid out very smooth and even...no striping. I put 3 coats of base and 3 coats of clear on everything.

 

can't wait to see the finished product

 

Got a few new ones today, still waiting on my IROC stripes and door decals to get here AND my personalized plate, but its pretty much done for now... Very happy with how it turned out!! Taking a nice road trip today.

 

sweet car!

 

looks like NEW!

 

Great Job! Are you flipping this car? or keeping?

 

Thanks Guys! She did great on her first long trip... almost 300 miles today, and most likely another tomorrow (house hunting out of town)... I did originally buy the car to paint and resell, but I have to admit I have gotten pretty attached to it. Always wanted one of these "back in the day".

Andy... that IROC looks STRONG! Great job! I hope to get mine in that condition, your car's distant cousin

If I was closer I would have loved to give you a hand working on it. Great Job!!!!

 

Try removing those front turn signals and compound/polish them. Mine are in the same condition, and I hit then with some compound and they started to clean up nicely!

 

Yep, I need to do that. Plus, I found out today that the stinkin USPS lost the damn decals apparently... I'll give the seller a little more time to send more, then I want a refund...what a waste of time.

Put 600 miles on the car between today and yesterday, it loves going fast on the interstate

 

Small update: Ive now put over 3000 miles on the car and its still doing great, knock on wood. I did find out the other day that these things are horrible in slick conditions... worse than I had even imagined, but I made it through with no incidents which is good b/c I only carry liability insurance on it.

Decals finally came, but I only have one pic and the car was a bit hazy from road salt... yeah, i know, I hate driving it in the crap, but I have no choice right now

Looks AWESOME... (jealous)

 

Well, don't get mad at me guys... but I was made an offer I just couldn't refuse. The Z has a new owner and the hunt begins again... :-)

 

well now you can do another one!

 

 

 

Would you mind saying how much you got for it?

 

Wow.. you did a great job. I'm in the hospital right now, battling Leukemia but once I get out I look forward to painting mine, same color. Noticed you're in Va. I'm in Culpeper (actually I'm in UVA right now, but looking forward to getting my life back..) You did a great job!! Stone

 

$5200

 

Best wishes to you man!!! Get well soon!!!
