They used the Sherwin-Williams line of auto paint on both of the cars. As it turns out, I have two more shots of Tweety in the parking lot.


They made a new rule that you couldn't double park, so I started parking like this to keep people away from the car and then took a picture from the window outside of my cubicle in case they tried to tow it....this is July 2009




I didn't even bother to go home from work this day. Just slept on the cubicle countertop until the next day. The picture was taken the next morning...this is February 2010

 

Hmmmm, I would rather do the prep to save myself some money instead of doing it because the shop will do a crappy job. And as for that last post, transam, I think I will go down to factory primer...hopefully I can find it underneath all the mess. Any rust spots though will go to bare metal.

 

Looks like some good times in tweety haha. Nice parking by the way...I like how you park sideways to keep people away but don't mind driving/using the car in the snowy weather. Not making fun, just that I would be the same way to a point haha. All day, every day is when I drive my 7....at least it's when I want to

 

But Texas snow is so PURE, man, that you can capture it and drink it or pour it into your radiator once it melts. It's doing no harm at all to the paint. My other RX-7, the grey '83 GS, is the one that's going to get the special paint job. That car, when it was my daily driver, suffered a door ding at Pinnacle Park from an SUV which cause me to start the double parking thing. They got tired of it when others soon followed my lead and the building manager made that fascist rule.

So I started the crooked parking routine to follow the technicalities of the rule and still maintain my agenda of keeping other cars from parking next to me. The building manager went nutso and got a director to come from Downtown Dallas to approve a tow, which was the supposed penalty if you broke the parking lot rules. When the Director got there to Pinnacle Park and saw the "yellow banana car," as Slindee puts it, the Director hit the roof and told the bum to never bother him with BS like that again. The next week, the Snake was no longer the building manager.

And yeah, I'm double parking again.

I went, D'Oh, this afternoon when I realized today I could simply plug the W98 PC into my router and just post the pics of Tweety directly off it of when she got back from MAACO...and so...














Here's what she looked like prior to the color change...

 

That's awesome man....people are so stupid about things. Car did come out well compared to the prior paint

 

The reflections in the hood and the roof line from the first two pics really tell the story.
