this spring, my cobalt went under the knife... well, not really all I did was the paint but here it is.

BEFORE:


DURING:


AFTER:






now I'm debating if I should put a ¼ inch silver stripe along the colour separation to make it more obvious, sometimes when the sun hits it a certain way, you don't even notice the 2 colours :P What you guys think?

Next step sometime this summer; lowering kit


PS: i'm painting that front chevy logo black as we speak... 2nd coat is drying now.

 

i like your tails

 

sexy

 

Looks good, I think the silver strip would look good, but Id have some one photoshop it. Is that a darker shade of blue this time?

 

ty, had those for a while now... had to make a design in them cuz law here says you can't cover reflectors in the lightsl; couldn't make em solid black.


it's the same GM laser blue, used the colour code from the VIN but there's thicker paint on, makes it darker :P here's what it would look like with the line

 

omg that car is NICE NICE NICE

i say do the silver pinstripe....then lower it

 

i think the line would be cool

 

Do the line and Tint the windows

 

Looks good already but the silver line would make it that much better.

 

tinting the windows is also planned, I just started me small business doing just that, but I want to practice on other people's cars before I do mine :P lol...

as for the drop, I KNOW... tired of driving a tractor. I'll look into the stripe tomorrow

 

needs silver pinstripe and stock tails

 

could have done A LOT more with the paint job IMO

 

Ohhh man those tails are so.........Well "not so cool" some would say.

 

looks a million times better than that other garbage.

 

The stripe, definitely. Nicely done, I like it a lot more than the "before" picture.

 

this is a new paint job? i hope its not cleared yet. if so....... then major fail. doesnt look shiney at all. i new paint job and wetsanded and polished should look like glass.

 

i think it looks better than it did!

 

sub'd for when i get home

 

Did you remove the body kit and the glass? The sanded pics still had the bodykit on.

 

Never had a body kit, it's the stock 2,4L SS bumpers and it still is.

Actually, the pictures don't show it but it is pretty shiny, those pics where taken with a nice camera that can take the glare out and block sunlight and such and it made the car look dull and it wasn't all that sunny to boot... don't worry it could've been buffed more, but it's still pretty "glassy" IRL.

meh, first bad comment about them I heard so far, I would've preferred solid black too but laws here suck bawls. What don't you like?

not with my budget just that laser blue paint is a crazy 178$/litre (about 710$/gallon) and I lost my job after having started sanding it so it cut the projects short :P drop is planned, tinted windows, new mags/tires, lambo doors, S/C and other performance stuff I didn't look into yet but now all those will have to wait until I get a new job, pay the late bills and put some aside.

this picture shows a bit more how shiny it is

 

still doesnt look that shiny man. did you paint it your self?

 

yep I did... I didn't wetsand the entire car after the paint, waiting for it to get harder first... no wax or anything on it either.

I did my mags this weekend and got a couple shots of it all done.

 

now drop the bitch and you will have a even more sexy ride

 

looks good. needs to be wetsanded and polished and it will look killer man. and is this your first time painting a car? if so. then you did a really good job.

 

go with the line. looks good
