Default My Vette is back from Paint. I'm done with the exterior!!!

Well I gotta say. After everything is said and done. I'm really really pleased. Last week someone decided to key my car and cut up my ragtop. I found a guy in Birmingham AL who specializes in Vettes. Bobby Allen Corvette and Classic Restore. HE took it this last Monday and handed me the keys back today. He did a bang up job. I'm so freakin happy!!!

A couple of pics of my car when I first bought it a few months ago:





And Today:





I have wanted to black out my front and rear bumpers the moment I saw the design on this forum. It looks like a whole new car.


ok, off to wax my ride!

Looks great but are you supposed to wax it this soon? I thought you could only polish right after a paint job.

haha funny you said that. I was talking to my buddy Dave while I was running a detail spray on it to get the road grime off so I could wax it. Dave let me know about the 30 wait period before I wax it. So no wax for her today. =) Shes still mirror white though. I think I'm going to crack open a beer and get a lawn chair and just look at her while I have a cold one.

Your body shop guy did a great job. Love the black highlights on the front/rear fascias and the black top looks good too.

At least you got the right color for a re-paint!!! White is right!
