Wow!! That is one very nice paint job - I'm guessing many hours of prep work went into it. Looks great!

Thanks for the replies gang ( nice confidence builder)

The color is an 06 mitsubishi eclipes sunset pearl

I wasn't sure if a vette could pull this color off but so far I'm getting great reveiws.

I should be getting it back from the painter next week...........so I'll be putting it back together. Stll waiting on the interior parts to be able to finish it up.

The body was in good shape to start with, I stripped it and started the body work and the painter finished it. (they are doing a great job)

I'll post more pics when I get it back home.

have you found a color that looks bad on a C3. I like the different color for a vette. it takes a little guts to try a different color, but I bet you will get lots of compliments on the paint. nice choice. my first was a burnt orage chrysler color and the one I am doing now is a custom mixed red pearl.
