Default Paint is done!!!

I appreciate all the help on the last post I put up, which dealt with the color choice. I ended up going with Corvette Yellow, and I'm 100% satisfied with it. Here is a quick shot of it:



I still have quite a bit of work until I have it all back together again. I'll post some more pics once it's in one piece, and I'll be sure to have a little better scenery than my messy garage.

Looks really nice! Those years seem to look better in yellow than some of the others.

Wow! Color, rims, pipes. I like your taste.

That looks gorgeous. I have to call the shop today and see when I can get mine. I went by on Tuesday and it was half primed. They said they wanted to paint on today.

As an owner of a _red_ one, I give you a big thumbs up!

Looks sweet. Yellow (especially the shade you chose) on a C3 looks killer.
