**UPDATED** 11/19


so for my auto body class in college my car is almost ready to be painted.



first coat of primer. kinda like the stealthy look


shaved the trunk keyhole, the antenna, and the spoiler holes.


missed the center of the hood though, but itll be ok lol



being painted later this week.

Volcano Gray

 

Good work so far. That dark grey will be a cool color on a balt. Something different.

 

That looks like a cool project! I'm curious though, why didn't you do all that work with new body pieces instead of the original stock stuff?

 

looks good props for being in md

 

because, im eventually getting coilovers and making it as low as i can stock, just something different then having an SS body.

 

True there! I dont blame you at all. Would you turn it like JDM? Or more Show?

 

^ go Jdm

 

please dont turn it into a "show car" lol I would love to know how to do the stuff your doing.

 

Some of the guys on here, i respect for going for their "jdm" look, but it'll always be an american car, i think some people do some stupid things to cobalts tryin to be "jdm" when itll never be.

im sure everyone will like it when its done. itll be done sometime this weekend.

 

A cobalt is not jdm. some of you need tested.

 

For the record, I wrote "like JDM" lol
[isnt that like Japan Developlment Marketing or something?]

But yeah, I'd like it if it were kept with stock looking headlights, maybe even those black housing projectors W/O the LEDs, stock tails, maybe SS/TC Grill, painted mirror caps and then just dropped on good coilovers with sweet forged wheels hiding awesome brakes... (that's what I meant by looking JDM) honestly I'm not sure exactly what JDM is, but the cars that people call it are usually pretty stock looking body wise, just... functional aftermarket mods.

 

looks good, cant wait for finished pics

 

looks good man so far, cant wait to see finish pics. and the word jdm being connected at all with cobalt is getting as stupid as stickerbombing. closest thing jdm got to chevy was the toyota cavalier. and that was legit jdm. cobalt tho...no.

 

click
looks good

 

While some of us "need tested", you need to English.

 

well the cobalt will be getting painted Friday 11/19. so pictures soon!
