look's good , for your first time !!!

 

Thank you I was surprised at my self. It came out WAY better then hoped. I use the guide I found on here for painting bowties I did everything down to the T.

 

yea it's just time consuming , it's not really that hard !! , i painted over the chrome on mine , only because i was going all black on my 06 LT !!

 

Looks good, I'm redoing mine.

 

Thx. You going from red and chrome to black and chrome? Would look good on your car and would go with your grill nicely. imo

Very time consuming! I was thinking about doing that, that trimming is a real bitch if your a noob (did not have fun with that!)! lol
all black looks sick as well but chrome trim means more work . Glad I went with chrome trim because the rims I plan on getting are gunmedal (black and chrome) so would look sick once I get some rims and would match .

Is it possible to remove and paint the bowtie in the back? (I want to do that next if possible)

 

Looks good man! But, 3 HOURS??? lol thats dedication to your bowtie! It took my buddy dana about 30 minutes or so. Good job though.

 

good work but holy jebus..3hrs? you're going to do the rear bowtie too correct?

 

Nah I think I'm going to go back to red.

 

Good job. Its definitely worth the worth, isnt it?

*2nd worth = work

 

great job. heres mine

you did a good job. mine took about 2 hours ish...

 

Painted mine too and painted the center bar black to make it look meaner:



TC grille FTW!

 

came out good

yeah,it was 30 min to paint my buddies bowtie, and paint 3 trunk key locks black, with clear coat

 

nice job

 

thx man,I did it layer by layer let each layer dry before the next layer, that's why it took so long

Yea its glued on so I got get some glue or 3M doubled side tape to put it back on.

thxs, you did you a good job your self that trimming is a bitch Is that candy paint I see on your cobalt looks nice?

wow I like that looks good.

paint your locks on your doors? Got pics?

thx man

 

looks 100 x better! i did mine a little while ago too and love it!

 

Hell yea, everyone at my work said it looks sick as hell.

nice! got pics??? I love looking at other people's cobalts I get allot good ideals from it.

 

not candy paint...

its just blue granite...

 

back to red it all ready red? You mean repaint it red or all red?

I like it I never seen a cobalt that color before.

 

I painted mine without removing it. Just get some quality automotive tape and use a LOT of newspaper to protect the entire back and top of the car from overspray. I taped off the chrome and shot the emblem with duplicolor victory red and when it dried fully I put on a couple of clearcoats and buffed it out with white polish.



chrome Alteezas just to be different......

 

nice! got pics??? I love looking at other people's cobalts I get allot good ideals from it. [/QUOTE]
