New look

I re-painted my car grey with a black stripe down the middle of the car. Instead of pics here is a walk around http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h3...5-10-07016.flv
This is pretty much what the car looked like before I did anything major to it..


This is what it recently looked like..


This when it was in grey primer before the blue

And this is what it looks like now..
Video not pic

Thanks, The exhaust is I think original only sounds like that because the cat. converter is broken and the muffler has a nice hole in it. Here is exhaust clip taken a few months ago if you interested check it out.

Re: New look

I would paint another 6"-8" gray stripe down the middle of the black for a pair of black stripes. Just not feelin' the thick black stripe...

Re: New look

Like already said I like the thought behind it but the rattle can job does it no justice really. It would look nice if you really had it painted like that though.

Thats a good idea I will think about it.

Yeah it would look better in real paint, but I wanted it to be primer only cause my car is not worth no $1,000 paint job and the cheap $200-$300 paint jobs usually don't turn out that great and or last, also had people tell me and kind of thought about it that I should paint it but I don't really want to waste my time in that besides I kind of like the barely running look but thats just me I guess.
