Hopefully it is still there when I go in for work tomorrow so I can get some pics when it is finished.

 

is that black or dark green? i like the gold stripe alot

 

It's a dark green. It was pretty funny because everyone was like "Wtf? Green!?" and then when it rolls out the paint booth we were like "Damn!!" Thought it was going to be some loud bright *** green lol. I love the color though, should have been offered stock.

 

Wow, looks really good. Very unique.

 

Niiice!

 

yeah i saw the other thread right after i posted that and saw that it was green, i really like that color on that car

 

Yep, it's beautiful. I love how it's so different yet it doesn't scream for attention like many other custom cars.

 

It looks clean, but I am going to have to say I am not a fan of the color.

 

That is an awesome shade of green! I love dark green, or really most any green depending on the car. But the gold stripe isn't so hot (should have left it without the stripe, IMO).

 

looks pretty cool. its different thats for sure

 

color is beautiful and the gold stripe makes me think of a 3rd gen GTA. i don't like single stripe myself and stripes on camaro's never should continue to the grille anyway, ford does that. just my .02

 

Agreed. As far as greens go, I like the Synergy Green much better. It has a much richer color imo.

 

no offense, but is that the best work area they can provide?

 

Yup, it's a shop for normal people. Not some $10,000 for paint only shop. Go read the thread in the Texas section, don't feel like arguing about it again.

 

****, I'm from a small town in Kansas (300 people), closest town with a body shop has around 1000 people, and the local body shop at least had a concrete floor free of dust, weather, ect for finishing. They don't do $10k paint jobs, but they are the only on in the area for a reason. Other people tried body shops, but they worked on cars in similar conditions. Not saying the work coming out of your shop is bad, its looks good in pictures, but you know it only takes a little bit to ruin a nice paint job...

 

That's just where all the cars chill before being detailed. I work with a bunch of Mexicans and they don't care at all about their working areas. Combine that with two lazy white kids that have had their hours cut because of school and you have a perfectly blended hell hole.

Seriously though those ************* don't care at all. It's so annoying how they just throw all their **** on the ground but hey, gives me a job. That area was perfect about 20 minutes before that picture lol..

As long as the paint booth and oven is clean it though doesn't really matter, that's the only thing that affects the paint. We keep that clean at ALL times and go to the body area and clean up when we can.

The amount of trash and dust generated from one car that needs body work is just unreal, you wouldn't believe it. Now once you start sandblasting cars you get a beach. Mix that with some rain and you have what we call, "Playa de Ruben." It's a massive thunderfuck of water, sand, paper etc haha.

 

I like it, but then again thats the combo I used to rock, but with a different shade of green.

 

Was that factory?

 

Yeah, does look like a real shop. . . But, it's not the area that dictates the work in a lot of cases.


Look how nice **** looks at a stealership, yet you car still gets man handled by goons most of the time.

 

Factory color, but the stripes were applied by the dealership. They changed color depending on sunlight and the angle you were looking at them, but started to crack about 3 years ago so I bought a sunoco hood instead of replacing them.
