Currently Painting the SS
I thought about doing the Evo look. For now I am going with The Black top, Orange Middle and Rocker moldings and bumper Lips are going to be black as well. If I dont like it I will paint them Orange and then do the EVO look. You gotta love Forza Motorsport 3. It helped me decide on a paint scheme. I could paint the car then drive it and watch the replay to see if I liked it.
Car is finally painted. First time painting a two tone. It took me 1.5 hours to apply the tape lines haha not kidding not sure if am being picky but kept putting it on taking it off. I will post some pics in a couple hours. I plan on trying o put some of it back together tonight. By the way thanks again for the comments.
Sorry for not getting the pics lastnight. I fell asleep and when I got up didnt want to go to the shop. I have been working no stop on this for about 2 weeks. Needed the rest. Area I would, could of bought your car I guess but what the hell would you buy after getting rid of the Balt.

EcoTech Honestly I have done roughly 15 custom show cars. None of them have ever been two tone. I will not touch candy paint with a ten foot pole. I mainly did either lots of insurance work as well as old car restorations. I have did it really cheap as it was fun for me. I used to charge 800-1000 per car no jambs. A shop to do the jambs and car would run roughtly 5000.00 Yeah seems hi but thats what most shops charge. If your lucky with the economy down at the moment you might be able to find someone to do for for 1-3000.00 New pics on front page
