Nice! Really makes a difference. Where you get it done? The old 89 needs some paint and not sure if I want to sell it or not.

No, just get some amber bulbs to toss in instead of clear and you're all set

This post reminds me of a Billy May's commercial.
Billy Mays here with a fantastic new product. Look at this terrible paint on an IROC and look at it after i spread some of this fresh paint all over this car!


It looks really nice who painted it?

For 1000 I would imagine they would have done some prep. A guy I ran into a few weeks ago got his done there for 600 and he did the prep work himself.

Im extremely happy with the outcome, I drove the car around the way it was before it was painted for over 2 years

The only prep work I did myself, was remove the louvers,if that even counts. I choose the Supreme package ($479.99) One step below the top package which is $1000.
The supreme package includes all the prep work within that price. Any package below the supreme package you have to add on a prep-work package which costs 129, unless you do it yourself.

What made the price go up from 479, to me paying a thousand was:

Re-Paint Headlight Pockets
Remove Roll Stripes ($100)
Sand and Prime front cover
Repair Rear cover and Prime
Allaign Hood
Repair Hood dents
Repair right door ding below molding
Repair right fender rear edge

I had them mask off IROC-Z, and "TUNED PORT INJECTION"
