Default Custom Electron Blue Paint Job Pics...

I haven't had a chance to get many pictures in, car came back, it was cloudy out, went into garage and dismantled for some engine stuff to be polished and painted. But here are the finished results. Let me know what you think. You can view the before and in the process of painting pics at http://www.firebirdomain.com
Here are the after:

High resolution(isdn, t1, cable modem etc)

That is very nice! Was the air lid sanded down at all, or was it just sprayed with Electron Blue + Clear?

Car looks sweet! very nice color. One suggestion I have is to lower the car, the fender gap is pretty big, and those cars look sweet lower. Once again Sweet Color nice car

I hate to be negative here, but...it really doesn't look like electron blue to me. It looks much lighter. Don't get me wrong. I like it. It just doesn't look right for some reason. Maybe poor lighting? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Hey thanks for all the compliments! Regarding lower it, i would like to, but i had already done that on my o1 bird and my ET, even with relocation brackets really sucked. I didn't have a front lip either so i know i would scrape alot. Maybe in the future who knows, i am learning towards all show now anyway.

As for the color, thats why it says CUSTOM electron blue and not "regular corvette electron blue!". Its a base mix between viper blue and corvette chevy blue with LOTS of pearl, as you can tell from the before pictures. Some of the after pictures (all shot on crappy cloudy days) show a slight color changing ability even in regular low lighting conditions. From slight purple to black and blue. I think it looks great.

As for the lid, it was originally carbon fiber, i don't know exactly what the guys did in regards for sanding but i'm sure they did! The lid and fuel rail covers (not installed yet) will be flamed soon, just waiting on getting an airbrush for myself, i want to do the flames me self hehe. Thanks again guys for the compliments!

Ah, i see the red spot you are refering to, it is only shown in one picture, its glare. The digital used isn't the best.
