I'm happy with the final results. It took 2 1/2 weeks longer than I planned for though.

it looks good

Nice job Cliff,
But what happened to the blue you started with??

I like it.
I think you should leave the headlights and tail lights the way they are, they add a nice contrast.

Thanks steve, i couldnt' get the blue to shade evenly, tried everything. So i did black over it, probably gonna Patina it later, have the blue under show through in spots.


The lights aren't bugging me like they were earlier today, we'll see what happens in that department. gotta get back into suspension mode for awhile.

NICE !... I dig it ...........

how did ya do it?

Im liking it

thanks.


how did ya do it?

with a roller

won't be able to miss you if we ever cross paths on I-5 :-) nice work

where did you get the paint?

where did you get the paint?

Home Depot. 12.99 a quart.

nice

looks cool! Did you just roll it on?

I'm interested in doing this to my Geo Metro but don't want to put a whole lot of prep work into it, if you catch my drift. I'm hoping it is possible to pressure wash the car and then paint on it (there is NO wax and the paint is as dull as can be now)

I sanded off the clearcoat, blew off the dust with air, then wiped it down good with solvent and lint free rags.

just a roller and a brush, right?

yeah, rollers (big size and small size), and some foam brushes for hard to reach spots. I sprayed the jambs and under the hood and hatch.

Looks good! I can't say it's "original" anymore... :silly:

Cool stuff. When are you gonna break out the chalk?

Yeah, that's one of the reasons I first went with the blue, but couldn't turn back once i started. It's gonna get a bit of a makeover in the somewhat near future.

how many cans of paint did you need?

how many cans of paint did you need?

Nice, waiting too see the makeover. :ponder:

Started "ratting" it a bit with a little Pantina and some checkers.

poor PW...lol, but it looks cool, im just sad theres one less PW in the world because you know...once you go black, you never go back.

LOL, BUT...... The guy who bought the AWD BB in TCM, had it painted PW, so he offset mine!

nice, id love to see a true bB in person...it looks good though, i love the distressed look and the wheels really stand out now! good job man

Thanks bro. still got quite a bit of work to go on it though.

Did a little more work on the flames today, just got to one fender and a little hood detailing.
