MI Post paint picts

Just thought I would share some picts taken after painting the car.
I put it away for the winter. It took me so long to finish the project that I only got to drive it for a couple of weeks before winter set in.

The paint is PPG
The color is Silver Birch Metallic (GM color)
Original color was Sunbeam Silver
Just thought I would try something a little different.

Very nice; I'm not a big fan of body kits, but that looks sweet - - mainly because you skipped the side moulding, I think. One or the other works, both would look too busy for my taste (YMMV, of course).

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!!

I bought the front air dam from Blackdragon.
The side skirts and rear wrap-around are from Mariah.
