  • i'm gonna repaint my bird in a year...

    i was wondering if you guys could help me with what color to get, i'm thinking either keep it sliver, i'll take photos of it this morning i have some film left to waste. also i'm thinking of yellow :D i saw a photo of an 88 in the yellow i like and i loved it but i cant find that photo again :( but what other colors look good other then the usual black, white, red, navy? i like navy also but i want something different then everyone around here :D and if anyone knows where i can find that photo of the yellow 88 bird let me know! thanks!

      Wait a minute... I thought the GTA only had a l98 350, not a 2.8????


      I would go with a Metallic Silver like on the LS1 cars, I have seen a few guys do this and it looks SWEET, best of all you will not have a yellow car and a silver engine compartment.
      Unless you pull the motor, clean everything out real good then have it painted [img]smile.gif[/img]

      I say Metallic Silver [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
      Black 96 Z/28, A4, T-tops, tint, 2.73 LSD, Kenwood.<br /><br />Previous Camaro: Bright white 86 Camaro, MPI 2.8 A4 3.42, tint, Z-28 wheels, a few goodies.

        Silver with blackours and black rims is the way to go!

          I recently painted my car Navy Blue Metallic and I think it turned out nice. I haven't seen this color on too many third gens around here. Take a look at my web site for pictures.

            try to keep it relatively close to the color you have, that way those areas that aren't normally painted won't stick out like a sore thumb.

              yopu can get them painted as well but that gets costly...


              I think looking to change the color of my 85, I was looking to spend an extra $300-400

              Ahve you ever seen the movie "The big hit" I thin that was the name, had Marky Mark has a hitman, well he drove a yellow firebird jsut like your pic, and did some cool stuff in it.

                I've always liked blue for the third gen Firebirds. Click on my site (in my sig) and look for the two pages of my metallic blue 87 Bird pictures back in the day.

                  That's a nice car. Yeah Slow to go is right. Stick with the same color. Ofcourse I am partial to black. My Firebird got painted at Earl Schieb for $425 two weeks ago. It looks very good, very well done.

                  Just last week I saw a 3rd gen trans am yellow with black diamond rims. It looked good.

                    yup, my car keeps being accused of being a very faded clor of that (it's beige). maybe down the road, I might paint it yellow, or gold.
