Painted the T/A

Well, I thought I was going to wait until this winter but I just couldnt stand seeing the car look so crappy. It took longer than I expected because I painted it at night and wasnt thinking of bugs!(What can I say, it was the first time I painted a car!) They landed all over the wet paint so I had to sand the whole car again. After that disaster, I was lucky enough to use a friends paint booth and do it right. Enough talk, here are some pics.

Great job! But I think you should get the original Trans Am and Firebird decals to make it look complete.

Looks awesome! I told Mo yesterday...what do you think of maybe painting the blue stripes or accents to match the blue centers you're doing?

I like stock looking vehicles myself but my wife already picked out what she wants(this is technically her car!) Also, I dont plan on keeping it stock forever.

She really wants the bird on the hood. I'll show her some other styles but she loves the look of the bird.

It was only a single stage, due to money being tight. I just couldn't stand seeing it look the way it did, this should last until I can afford to do it right.

If you can, convince the wifey to leave the wheels the way that they are. The car looks great with them.

Very nice results! Do you happen to know the where about of Matt (quasar34) who owned that before you? He has some 3rd Gen parts for sale and I have not been able to reach him by his cell phone or PM.
