Re: Finally getting the Iroc painted

Car looks very nice. Its always good to see some one doing it correctly.(shop with paint booth)That being said $1,800.00 for a B/C counting "prep"/primer/paint/clear/and all materials is a really, really great price. It all is depending on how much prep. was done and the quality of the materials used,combined with the amount of time consumed. Getting it done in a weeks time really helped with keeping the price down.

Re: Finally getting the Iroc painted

well with the crappy weather and short days i havent been able to do too much, but I did get my new turn signal lamps from 1a auto on the car and I have to say Im glad that I bought these. They're a bit more expensive then the Ebay clear lenses($40) at 85 dollars, but they are an actual reproduction of the OE part and a way cheaper alternative then the 130 a piece everyone wants for NOS GM lamps.The first pic is with the original lamps, the second is with one new and one old, and the last is with both new lamps in

there are a few items that I plan to buy, like a new steering wheel, new shift ****, if possible some new or mint rear license plate lamp housings because mine are cracked, and I have to recover my headliner because it likes to sag when its cold out. Fortunately the car had been taken care of very well by the previous owners, so it still has both original sets of keys. I ordered new emblems for it, but unfortunately the guy sent the wrong ones, so he is shipping out the correct emblems tomorrow, and the vinyls from phoenix graphix are sitting in my room waiting to be put on. I really just want it to look like it just came out of the factory, but with some modern upgrades like the vette wheels, the stealth ram and the 4th gen brakes all around

Re: Finally getting the Iroc painted

Here's a little update of how shes looking. Sorry for the quality, fog makes taking pictures kind of hard. The weather has been slowing me down substantially, but I hope to have her fully back together by Christmas time.

Re: Finally getting the Iroc painted

finally had a chance to put the decals on my car and I must say that I'm pleased with how they turned out, now to install my sub frame connectors and then put the interior back together
