Trip to Show Low

My family and I went up to visit my grandmother this weekend up in Show Low, AZ. I shot a couple pics of the Iroc in front of my parents Loft. Just thought I would share.

yeah, my girlfriend stripped the front completely of all the paint and we repainted teh silver and black. The previous owners were pushing it on a trailer and went too fast and hit the front on the trailer so it messed all the paint up.

Re: Trip to Show Low

How much do you charge to paint? Also where are you located? I will be looking to do my bird sometime in the near future. I plan on finishing the body work, then would need the paint.

Re: Trip to Show Low

Maybe I can get some tips then. I got a quote for about $4500 from 2 shops. I'd rather do it myself. I know how to paint metal, but just want to make sure the paint job is going to last.
