shared_pm me your number, i have a 86 coupe that needs bodywork. Top has small dents, quarter panels paint and bondo? job look bad from previous owner. Not looking for show finish like your black car, just a clean paint job. I've seen your car around Seminole and Largo, I live in Indian Rocks Beach.

+10000

but if you got the plastic off w/o flakes...sweet. looks real nice

Are you the young guy who's dad did paintwork too and you guys did your black GT? If so, I think we met a couple of times. Nice work regardless!

Sweet color choice. The bottom half of my 93 is that same color.



I want to have the entire car repainted, keeping the same colors,. except I want the blue to pop a little more than it does. That I might change to a different hue. But not ready for any paint yet. I will keep you guys in mind.

And some shots of the car unwrapped, all one color. Yes, the windshield was painted over. It was removed because it was cracked, we laid it back on the car to keep overspray out of the inside.
