Default Excited...getting new paint

Well, it's finally time. I'm going to have 'Ol Blue painted. Get new fiberglass front and rear bumpers too! It won't be original but look out "Car Shows." :yesnod: :D :yesnod:

Cool!

Mine is in the paint shop right now as well - also getting the Bright Blue original color of my '82.

I'm not using fiberglass bumpers though - the urathane bumps on mine have never started to get wavy...

The bumpers on mine don't really need to be replaced so much as the color difference from the body. The paint on the urathane has faded more so I don't want that to happen again. My daughters have made their picks on who get what Vette when Daddy checks out and I want the cars to look good when I do! :lol: :lol: :lol:
