CowBird, You just washed it? Did you do something different because if looks better in person than in those pictures. Atleast it looked better in person when you came over to my place with Tomas.
n2o and robert, calm, there is no rules on whether it has to be a running car or not, and what robert posts as critisism is his opinion as to why it shouldn't be car of the month. The car could be burned down, motor/tranny/rear/interior less and still be car of the month...at this point in time, this generation f-body is the cheapest/least sought after of them all, so anything goes. Hopefully later on down the road they'll jack up in price(after we get our cars to where we want them because parts will get more expensive too.)

That's what I thought. Now did you spray it with a gun? or spray it with cans? in order to primer it? If you sprayed it with cans....girl....you need to get some REAL primer on it and FAST. There is no substitute for real primer/paint. The cheap stuff, will behave cheap. Like Macco(my car was Macco'd right before I bought it...I bought my car august 5th, 2004) and you already see my paint fading/chipping/peeling. It started doing that probably 2-4months after I bought it. Hurry and re-primer it(if not done correctly) and then paint it. What color you going with anyway? I saw you painted the wing? blue, so I figure you're going to paint it some kind of blue? Blue looks good so if you do go with that. Good choice in color.

Cowbird, why are you coloring your car exactly like mine? I won't have graphics or anything but i'm going for a Charcoal or a dark grey with black birds in the factory places, black wheels with polished lips, and blacked out taillights and sidemarkers.

Nah, only my hood and bumper is black. Everythign else is gray and I plan on making it all gray, and all that I listed. I put an old picture of my car in my signature so you can see how it looks, or looked back when I had blackout taillight covers. If you want to make your car how you explained....do it. I dont' care if yours looks the same, it's yours, and it will look good that way.

By the way why did you change it black anyway?

Because it was white before. I rearended someone so I had to replace the bumper cover and hood. I bought the ram air hood and then had to buy another bumper and they were both white so I painted them black instead. I didn't want to try to paint them because it would have been rattle can and you never get a good look from that. Primer is the way to go.
