WoW!!!
It's very RED and it looks great!

 

Looks great, I'm thinking "Victory"!!

 

Looks Great !!
My 73 is in the shop getting painted by Littlejake in Nashville - I picked 2009 Corvette Victory Red - Is that your color ?

 

yeah ill let you know. i just know that its an audi color for now. ill tell you what code when i find out

 

nope. i was gonna go with victory red but victory red is alot more blueish (first coat of victory red is almost a marroonish color i wanna say) victory gets more red with every coat, this color stays the same through all coats.

 

Looks good! It's almost "give me a ticket red".

 

no its definitely a 'give me a ticket' red lol

 

here are some more pics, put on some of the trim i think today (friday) ill be taking her home to work on her the rest of the way in the garage (i dont want it sitting at the shop, people coming touching it and leaving scratches on my new paint job )

painted the headlight covers glossy black


headlights down:


Dirty car still... need to wash it


glossy black rockers as well:


left to do today, put in the front grilles, drop in seats, put in the side marker lamps (front and back) and the tail lights and throw the carpets inside and head home to work on it there later


(ooh btw, the front spoiler is on as well )

 

I think, unless I am misunderstanding, TSW may be referring to the space between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fenders/quarters. Seems like a lot of space there to me. Rocker trim and Front spoiler won't change that any.

Good looking paint for sure...Don't forget to black out the bumper trim on both sides of the license plate area...(bumperettes?). I see that overlooked on a lot of paint jobs. Unless, of course...you prefer them like that...your car, your call.

"Hello Officer Red", looks great.

 

no yeah i got that ill be addressing the ride height when i change suspension. i think this car probably has stock suspension on it still... i dont want to cut the springs or whatever, we'll see once the car is all together what ill do about the ridre height. i personally like low riding cars w/ stiff suspension. makes taking turns more fun

 

as for the bumperettes, ill leave them red for now. i dont want them standing out xD if i get tired of them being red i can always black them out later i figure

 

just an curious question here but what have you put in the car so fare?

Your paint look great! I'm still at the "wishing" stage for paint.....I'm doing a lot of the same things you have just done.
