Pics of new Paint Job

Finally had a chance to get some decent pics this week of the new paint on my car, just thought I would let everyone see my work in progress. Wheels are still being made over at Boyd Coddingtons, BC05s for those who are interested.

Enjoy!

Pics aren't coming up...for me at least.

Looks good-how much did that cost you to get done? I just paid $300 to get the nose of my car painted b/c it faded a little.

Any pics of the entire car?

me either..................

Well, I guess the pics are too big and too many people are accessing them. I am going to make them smaller right now.

The price for the painting and reclearcoating was about $5k. I only had to pay 1700 thought bc there was also some accident damage on the car, otherwise it probably would still be on a wish list and not on the car.

flames on a black T/A..where have I seen that before ;):p *ahem*

Yes, in fact I had some of the pics from yours before I started on the project. The hood vents are functional, they go through the openings in the front bumper cover. I am going to be going to clear turn signals tomorrow.

I had to copy and paste the link for them to work

<--------Jealous :(

Looks awesome :D :bow:

Yeah, I know, copy and paste them in, I guess you get what you pay for! LOL Since I spent all my money on the car, had to cut out extras like actual webhosting and all.

Very nice looking car!!!

Pics aren't coming up for me either. :rolleyes:

To give everyone an idea of the wheels these are the ones that are going to be on the car in about 3 wks in 18x9. They will have the script boyd coddington rather than the block BC though

That will finish off the outside for now, and my bank account too.

It looks good. Any before and after shots?

These are some of the before pics. Just paste the URL like the other ones.

I have a lot of during pics too on a CD. They show how the vents were made by cutting out the foam inside the bumper cover then shaping it with high density filler and then painting to achieve the finished look. The whole car was sanded down to remove the clear coat and recoated with 5 layers after the flames were added. This make the chrome illusion appear to float above the black. The chrome illusion will change from burgandy to green to blue and finish out with a goldish. There is also a second chrome illusion that was used to tip the flames, which was more gold, and is also on the front bumper cover and inside the vents.

Cool looking paint job.

nice lookin' paint job ya have there. cant wait to see the wheels on it :D
