So my friend had a silver 2001 Formula that had seen it's fair share of door dings and parking lot enounters. A few months ago he was involved in a wreck and decided to put on the Trans Am bumpers, side skirts, and WS6 Hood and paint it a custom Gun Metal color. I think it's an awesome color and looks good on the car, what do ya'll think?

Pics with new paint:
















I know, I know, the wheels need to go and some nice chrome one's need to go on. He's deciding on what wheels to get next.

 

Also, for those who are interested, here are some pics of the wreck:

 

So sad to see an F-body all smashed up...

But I like the new color. Looks much better with the WS6 hood on there, I never really cared for the other one.

 

New color looks really cool!

 

looks good. some black wheels and the black ceta mod on the back would make it look great

 

Cool car, just needs some wheels and it will look pimp!

 

Are trees illegal there?

 

Not bad, looks a tad darker than pewter

 

I like the color. Great work fixing it and not just junking it.
And x2 for the tree thing. Place must suck to live!

 

Theres a tree there.. its in the third picture down! check it out man

Hell of a tranformation though! Car looks great!

 

Not a bad color, If I ever had to repaint in silver/gunmetal I definitely would choose Viper steel gray.

 

In that area of Texas, most trees are Mesquites and Cedars which aren't the best trees for landscaping. Even with nice trees it has become SOP for developers to clear cut the area though.




Tech,
Viper steel grey looks great on f-bod IMO. Your friend chose his color well.

 

lookin good!!
