Re: Paint job finished (pics)

yeah... car was actually kind of dirty but i'd been putting off taking pics for a couple days so i just wanted to get it over with. i can't even wax it for a while cuz of the paint job.

it's actually kind of hard to see the stripes on the hood and hatch cuz the sun had such a glare

looks better.

not sure how i feel about the firebird on the fender. i kind of like i though. im planning on using the original firebird emblem (the bird, not the lettering) when i find someone who can do them up for me. not sure where im going to put them at though.

glad to see you took the door lettering off lol :p

I didn't wash or wax mine for a month after I got it painted. Wanted to make sure it set in well. But some say you can wax it right away if you wanted, but with stripes I wouldn't risk it. Looks good, I would VHT the rear lights and rear markers.

Looks really good. I usually don't like anything but the stock hood on the 93-97 birds but that one is pretty slick. What is it?

Re: Paint job finished (pics)

its a ws6 hood.

Re: Paint job finished (pics)

It looks good. Personally I think the 3 things you need to change are wheels (get 17's), antenna, and scrap that license plate frame. Other than that you're golden!

Re: Paint job finished (pics)

yeah, bibbers right, it's a ws6 hood. i got it damaged for about 200$, fixed it up and you can barely tell it had a deep crack right inbetween the nostrils.

and steve, i'll have to agree with you on two points, it really could use some vette rims and a different antenna. i had purchased a "shorty" antenna from a fella but after taking off the old one i found that the threading was different so i was reluctant to put the old one back on for now... but i'll be getting a shorty soon.

nobody likes the LP frame so i might have to get something else. i've seen some "pontiac" ones that are silver/black/red, which would go well with the scheme.

thanks for all the comments
