Talking Before and After :D (still not complete)

so earlier this fall ii went through a pretty bad accident with the balt.. Around 10k worth of damage. My uncle owns an auto body shop so i told him since the car needed a whole new paint job you might as well paint it a new color. To me white cobalts look the best.. So the deal was if i work on it with him he would paint it..anyways i got it back a few weeks ago and i just wanted to share this with everyone! So here are the before and after pics of my balt.. By the way Merry christmas to all!

Thanks balla023! and i went through a fence into a ditch. The road i was on was horrible.. no signs or warnings about turns at all. cop said there was 5 accidents in the same spot they found me in. i was doing max 40mph off a sharp curve.. both front tires were bald and shot (new tires came in the mail from discount tire direct next day, got me so mad haha) i lost control and started to power slide, then boom.. im in a ditch.

yeah i was a little shaky with the headlights as well haha but i just wanted the black headlight look and plus my girlfriend likes halos so i just went with those lol the rims are drag 33's.. eventually when i get money together i will upgrade to some bbs but for now these arent that bad at all. Its definitely a bang for your buck.

Wow, The turnaround looks great!

I want to re-spray mine in the next year or so, White could be a potential choice.

nice to see somebody had the sense to paint a cobalt a nice colour, half the time its just awful aftermarket paint jobs.

this is beautiful man, amazing job and very very nice colour choice!

I agree, white looks best. Why I went for black still pisses me off.

Red is my favorite but I do love white, I never understood either why they never made the SS/SC in white.

Resize the pics. Can't get a proper look at the car because I can only see small sections at a time.
