i donno man... im kinda opposed to it.. but im am very interested to see what it will look like if you go through with it... to me it looks like an unpainted car thats just sitting in e-coat... (your a body guy you know what that is).... i like flat black on street rods... but4th gen t/a is not a street rod... more of a sports/muscle car... but its your car... good luck either way bud...

not flat black. that would look like **** on just about anything but a chevelle, bel-air, or some other real muscle-car. the TA deserves at least satin black, if you're going to repaint it.
