Exclamation Update #2! (NEW pics 11/24!) Pictures of my brand new Navy Blue Metallic paint job!!

Here are some new pictures for you guys:

---------------------------
Original message:

I just got it back tonight and took some pictures of it in the garage. I really like the color and how it turned out! What do you guys think? I will take some better pictures tomorrow when there is sunlight and after I clean the dirty wheels. Here is the mini web site for it:

Navy Blue Metallic

The guy who was painting my car said to come back next weekend so he can buff it and finish it off, and it should be very smooth, and look a little darker after that.

For right now, I will just enjoy the firebird without the huge bird logo on the hood, but in a few months, since I am good with airbrushing (although I have never airbrushed on a car before) I will probably try to do the bird on the hood myself. It should be easy since I just need to make like a huge "stencil" and spray. I think silver would be a great accent color for this car, so that is probably what color I'll paint the bird logo, opinions on that? Or do you like it better with no bird on the hood? Thanks for sharing any opinions.

By the way, I had originally posted this message and you guys were right, the trans am in the picture is navy blue metallic. Thanks again!

It is hard to get a good look at it in those pictures but from what I can see I think it looks very good! Nice job!

Looks great, but it would help if we could see some full body outdoor pics!

Wow, that looks really good man!

Now I'm tempted to paint my 92 Firebird that color so it matches my 01 Z28, hehe.
