Default New Paint

Finally, no more rental car! :hurray:

Got the Vette back from the paint shop, mounted the new ZR1 17" replicas, put the interior back together after redoing the door panels, dash, etc.... Still work to do, but it's a start.


I am still having problems posting pics that do not disappear, so check out:

The main blue stripe is painted on. But, as I found out from GS owners, the hash marks are decals, so are mine.

Good choice beachcat. That was quick...seems like only yesterday I was replying to your paint scheme post. The reverse GS looks much better than ghost flames.
