95 Trans Am. Alpine white. Done! God the difference. The old white was like a cream white. Yuck. This white looks great. Not to mention the old primer was cracking under the paint so I am so glad I painted the whole car instead of just the front end. I don't think the pictures do it justice. Next on the list is getting some c5 black deep dish rims 18x9.5 front 18x10.5 rear and some wilwood brakes on all 4s

And as for the rims I am not a big fan either but they came on the car. I plan on changing them out for these just waiting to have extra cash.
My car is about to start getting wet sanded, buff and polished the paint needed a week to cure.

Other than this site i spend most of my time on The Bimmer Forums, i have an E34 for a DD. Its funny how so many people pover there ditch Alpine for Arctic claiming the same thing. Oh well, grass is always greener i guess. But i hate to break it to you, if there is spiderwebing, its not your primer its your bumper itself and you should have replaced it as it will never ever stop. Its a deterioration process and while your bumper will never exactly separate, youll see those cracks in this new paint in no time.
