Default my 30.00 paint job
So i've been on vacation this whole week. I was looking for something to keep me busy since I didnt go anywhere. I decided to give the DD aka "the green goblin" a paint job. i got a 450.00 quote for a basic paint job @ a local shop. I really didnt want to spend any money on the car since its really not all that. I just use it for work since it gets awesome gas mileage. Plus that's 450.00 that can go towards the SOM or bills. I went ahead and got my self some rattle cans and worked some magic on the neon. I sanded the car,sprayed it and clear coated the car. I also cleaned up the engine bay,interior and painted the calipers gun metal grey and vht the tail lights...lol! anyways the car looks half way decent now. I wish i had tools to remove some on the dents it has,but oh well...anyways check it out.

before
Pics of when it got broken into a few months ago.



after



vht tail lights


hard to see the gun metal color on the calipers.

That has to be the first and only flat blacked neon/plymouth whatever in existance. Nice job. Those lepracy spots on the roof/trunk were not doin you any favors.
