    Well I finally painted that GTO/Lemans i've been working on. Here's a couple fo quater shots. The customer picked the color. When I was done painting it he didn't care for it so we sanded it all down again. And now were getting ready to spray it Red his original choice :af:. Oh well his money, it turned out nice too.

    Jarrod what color is that? I think that color would have been great on that car.
    Man it must be nice to be able to say "nah, I don't like it paint it red". If I can ever muster up enough loot for a nice paint job on my car I'm only gonna have one shot so I'd better get it right. :laugh:

    The paintjob was nice but if I wanted my car grey, I just wouldn't wash it. :grin:

    He choose the color that Joe Rogan used on his 70' Cuda on the TV show "Rides" (TLC). It's called Sparkling Silver if i'm not mistaken.It came off a 2004 Nissan. It does a major flop in the sunlight. The upper half of the car would have looked silver and the lower half would have looked like gun metal gray during the day. Nice fade effect. Nice color but not for him.

    He just told me that he wants me to spray a coat of "rainbow flake" over the entire car for his wife. :puzzled:
