Default Pics & Big Thanks to Bryan (parbreak)

Try to make this story short ... I had posted some pics awhile back in this thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/399888-new-pics-engine-bay.html showing some painted FRC's that I had done. Bryan replied in it offering a set of free decals for the FRC's if I repainted them and did the lines and 5.7 with the decals rather then how I had painted them. Well I didn't get around to doing it for awhile, but finally did, and when I asked him about the decals he still stood by what he said. In fact he sent me two sets and extra long cut since he didn't know how my FRC's were cut. Needless to say after repainted them with better paint and the decals, they look much much much better!! So a big thanks again to Parbreak for his help and kindness!!

I also repainted the radiator shroud, front radiator support plastic piece, battery cover, and my interior trim pieces. They were all already black, but they were done much better this time around. Here are a few pics:









One of the interior. Not real good pic cause it's dark and was taken in the garage.

Thx everyone! However, I can't take the credit for doing it myself. Didn't mean to make it sound that way. I did all the prep work (sanding, wetsanding, blah blah) but the paint is actually auto paint and clearcoat. That's how it is that shiny. The shop that repainted the car recently sprayed these pieces for me as well. Thanks again for the comments.

227Hawk -> Are you meaning the wires with the silver loom? If so it's mostly stuff for my stereo system.

That looks killer man. I've began working on dressing up my engine bay as well and I was shooting for exactly what you're doing (except red and gloss black instead of silver and gloss black). Keep up the good work, that car is really coming together.
