Default Painted that piece between the t-tops

Mine was pretty crappy (sorry, no before pics) but it turned out decent. I have to sand it down and redo it, it turned out a little bubbly. Also got a new shift ****, I think i may have a little too much white inside the car though.

looks good, looks like it was made like that from the factory in the 2nd and 3rd pic. is your right stripe on the top of the car peeling? i like the white interior, it adds a real nice touch,

If those are the final pics and it was my car, I would re-do it properly and put some clear on it... Looks kinda patchy to me.

As far as the interior, try a black shift ****... It'll flow with how the A/C and light switch panels look.

Thanks guys, and yes, the stripes are peeling and cracking just about everywhere, but I'm more concerned about getting it running right now. I have the black Hurst **** that came with my t56 swap as well, I just thought I'd have a little something extra that looks nice.

Its only too much white if you get tired of keeping it clean! I need to touch up my ttop bar ever since my ttop flew off and messed up the bar.

You guys do realize that it's a 30th anniversary Z and that the white interior and wheels are standard, right?

I would use something other than rattle can paint. Like a oil based brush paint, then clear it.


Man, I like the 30th anniversary z28's.

thats why i removed my rear seats and stored em. easier to keep em clean when they aren't in. and more room for my bottle.
