Default *Fresh new paint job*
Should be done in about a week or two. The door jams and everything were done. The whole car was stripped to pieces and man am I excited.












The new color













*June 15, 2011*
Wet sand, polish, buff, & ready for pick up in a few days



*June 26, 2011*




Just washed...

Once the whole car is wet sanded, polished, & buffed it'll be ready for pick up. Pics were taken with a phone so a photoshoot is in the near future

From what I could remember I'm almost positive it's PPG. Please tell me that's a good paint. What brand paint is on your Trans Am?

I told you its gonna be nice! They use PPG paint. You aint gotta wait to slap the emblems on. When he did my front clip, the fender SS badges and front badge was put on same day it was done with paint.
