Nice job Spuds...you're making some nice strides with the car and with the quality
of your posts. Kudos to you. The car is looking sharp. Keep it up.

I didn't know "THE RIGHT WAY" was in an unventilated garage ???


Just f@cking with you !

It really looks AWESOME!!!! Completely changes the car... nice paint work as well!!!

In response to your posts:

I WOULD paint the handles and door locks white.

I WOULD NOT EVER do that stupid clear tail light mod (came on my 1995 T/A and GOD did it look like @SS!!!). Either keep what you have or do the LS1's... It's good to have a little contrast with the red...

I WOULD do Clear Turnsignals with the BLACK housing.

I WOULD get the 96-97 Style WS6 hood next (those bad boys change the look of the whole car!), your paint idea sounds cool if done right (not the WHOLE scoop, just the upper portion leaving a LITTLE white at the bottom of the scoop and maybe a pinstripe) OR just paint some BlackBird stripes on there OR the 25th Anniv. Style stripe...

I WOULD POLISH the LIP of your rims and paint the spokes BLACK untill you can afford better ones...

I think that covers it.... !

You took the freaking words out of my mouth with the hood and wheels, thats what I wanted to type out about the hood, but I didn't know how to say it. I want the scoop black, then on teh side I want like 3/4 of a inch of white ( maybe less ) then a pin stripe of black, then white. I agree that the contrast of the red looks nice. I love the look of my car with just the fog lights on and the parking lights, the red on the rear is sweet. I think I am gonna do red calipers *repaint my white ones *

Hehe, we painted it with the doors closed, filter on, then baked it at 120 degrees I believe for like 2 hours. Once we wet sand it, along with the rest of the car, I will be so much happier with the black, as it has some orange peel in it.

DON'T paint the spoiler black, I don't like it either...

Red calipers are a good idea !

All the equipment I use isn't mine, I don't now anything about them, I just use em. I figured my car was a 10 y/o, ditched banged, ratty trans am, how could I make it worse? So I painted it. Compresser is a PUMA. Pictures of the equipment are the third and forth ones.

CETA just looks killer on white cars, nice job. FWIW, I like the black spoiler in the above pic, being different never hurts.

so i suppose my pics helped out? I painted my CETA in a garage too, but it did have a de-humidifier and a vent fan in a window opening. Looks good, go with some LS1 taillights, they look so much better! I'd also go with black rims but I'm a little biased. Just get your windows tinted too, that'll make it look even better! Good job man!

Its all in the works man Fazoli's pay is **** lol. Yea your pics helped my decide to not do the whole t-top area, I copied your tape line. I think Im just gonna go with vht on the front corners and my rear tails, cheaper for now. LS1 tails are the ****, but the lt1's have grown on me a bit, just seem a tad more agressive.

Nah, don't paint the wing black. May I recommend a set of C6 wheels to set the car off? That'll look pretty darn good.

thanks i was gonna do black too but decided to go with dragons steel one look soo amazing in person and amazing quality they are very thick and sturdy,btw my ceta is flat black and i always like it better flat but somthing about your being shiny make me wanna spray some gloss over it,again car looks sooo much better,but i keep the handles black-good contrast and get chrome wheels you see too many white car with black themes.
