Default Finally got my car repainted....

I had to have the entire car repainted due to the "key" incident, so while I was at it, I had a little stripe put down. I had the mirrors done in the same color and the previously painted interior as well. I was going to return to a stock interior since the painted look was getting old and tacky but the color was so subtle, that it looked like it just belonged there

I have to get better pics in the light to really see the metallic. I also had the headlight bezels matched in the red, and had the Pontiac crest put under the clear coat which came out awesome up close.

First day back


Another shot

Thanks! The color is Moonstone metallic from the GM catalog, I believe 99' or 00'.

Now that I've seen more pictures, I like it even more. Good job!

Wow, they should come from the factory like that. Really goes well with the lines of the car. Very, very nice. I can't believe no one has done a stripe like that before.

Reminds me a little of this car: http://www.davidyeatts.com/images/Tr...2/Dsc00620.jpg
