Do you have pics of your gunmetal gray GTA???? I love that color on thirdgens...would love to own one...but just cannot seem to find a gunmetal gray GTA anywhere. Please post pics...thanks.

Acually, I dont have any good pics... I have had the car for about 3 years now, and when I got it it was like new. Being young and stupid, I didnt take care of it as well as I should have, and now doesent look good. It has a black front clip on it, and the paint isnt all that good. I remember after washing it all up one day, she looked soooooooo beautiful... I took 2 pics with a polaroid, and they were fuzzy!!! I was so pissed, cause the next day I got in an accident with her . This is the most recent pic I have of it, not the best, but if you can get your hands on a gunmetal GTA, GO FOR IT!!! Theyre not only the rarest color, they are freakin beautiful!!!

This pic probably wont help you, nor does it do the car any justice... I acually just snapped the shot the day I was shootin my Vert. The car hadnt been cleaned in a few months.

I am putting the new motor in in the spring (supercharged 406, or 355; I have a fresh 406, and the matching 350, and Im not sure what I wanna put back in her... keep it matchin #'s, or get some more power) New paint is on the way too!!!

I cant wait to get her runnin again!

 

OK... this is a little better... I photoshopped the front end in the same color. Looks a bit better. Makin me want it back even more

 

Whoops forgot the pic lol!

 

Beautiful car...that is by far my favorite color for a third gen....also...can you tell me how to do that photoshop job you just did? how do you get it to match exactly...the tutorial is decent..but didnt help me out too much.

Thanx for the compliments man!

Well, heres what I do.

First, use the Eye Dropper tool some where on the car which has the color you wanna use. Then, use the Polygonal Lasso Tool, and mask off the section where you want to change the color. Then, hit new layer. Make sure the new layer is on top. Now with the NEW BLANK layer highlighted, and your masked off area showing with the dotted lines, use the pain bucket and fill in the area. It will already be on the color you want; you selected it when you used the Eyedropper tool. Then, adjust the Opacity of the layer in the layers tab.

The opacity should be low enough so that the glares and shiny parts still are seen, like in mine. Ya might not get it right at first, but keep practicin!

 

Got 4k? Buy a new one! ;>

 

Its got the digital dash Im jealous!

 

It's more beautiful than your half black thing too!

heh, jk

 

I was looking at that car...too bad I cannot afford that right now...I gotta look for something a little cheaper...damn I wish I could buy that. As long as these scholarships for college pull through...then I will be getting a better car...for now I need to spend around $2500. In about a year I will be looking for either a mint '88-'90 GTA, an '89 TTA, or a 4th gen TA(want the LS1 if I can find one for a decent price).

I have a '90 Formula in Gunmetal Gray if anyone is interested. I didn't know it was a rare color.

 

you wouldn't happen to know if that is the rarest color on the camaro as well would you?

if so, i have to shoot my best friend for selling it to my other best friend for $500 and then congradualate other my best friend for having a rare car its an '89 RS 2.8 V6

btw - that color on the thirdgen is freakin awsome, when my friend said he was selling it for $500, i asked my mom she was tuning me out and said no, later that night i told her that he sold it to my other friend for $500 she was like "Why didn't you buy it?" Whats up with that?

btw - it HAD lost compression in the number 2 cylinder and a leak in the radiator ( an overall $1500 problem) still cheaper than my 6
