Fresh Paint of the Chateau Silver kind!!

So just a quickie of my current LE project. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.
Before

Looks pretty good for someone who doesnt have much paint skills at all..

Yea I going to keep this car for a while, I hope unless a 3rd gen comes along!! I have had a bunch of 1st and 2nd gen and a repu but no 3rd gens.. The hardest part of this mild resto is going to be the interior, im surprised for the car be garage keep most of its life the interior suffered the most.
