Well i must say that i haven't seen such a great use of primer in a while. I actually did this back in high school to my friend's 79 firebird(455 we just installed)....anyways great use of a $7 paint job to make a statement.

Hah, that's cool. When I did all my car's bodywork, I replaced my rusted-out-at-the-bottom '86 doors with my parts car's doors. Before I changed the driver's side, I picked up a can of the brightest orange paint I could find. I painted that old '86 door bright orange, then took black paint, and painted an "01" on the door.

You should've seen the heads turn! It's fun to fck with your car, and then to see everyone's reactions when the car is actually "Done". People usually say to me "Man, I remember when that car was all primer!"

I don't care for it too much, I don't really think flames look right on 3rd Gens. At least the ones I've seen.

Hey if you got something that looks bad, at least make it look bad in style.

Wait till I buy my dad's primered 66nova back in the states.
