Finally painted last thursday....they missed prepping the header panel and missed some door jambs so they've still got some work to do...this has been 8 weeks now. I want it back.

Color looks to be lighter than the stock brown....

Right on.

that kinda looks like a mid-80s firebird with firebird red... guess its the clearcoat bringing out the red in the brown... :bigthumb:

Beautiful.. Does not look stock though..hmm. I don't have balls like you I am going from brown to some other color.

Yeah maybe it's the clearcoat...maybe they fucked up the formula...I don't know, they said they pulled the code from the book..whatever that means. Too late to do anything about it now. Like I said the car has been in the shop 8 weeks, after an intial estimate of 3-4 weeks and I just want the damn car back!

here's another...the camera doesn't seem to want to focus very well. I'll get some really clean pics up once it is all put back together...

It's just the lights, and the fact that it's shiny. I've seen people take pictures before and it look completley different...it looks great though.

RRTEC 09-05-05 12:06 PM

Don't get me wrong it looks FANTASTIC! It does just seem a few shades lighter then stock brown.

Rx7Kidd 09-05-05 12:11 PM

that looks great man, thinkin i might do mine candy apple red.

BlurComet 09-05-05 12:33 PM

Yeah, that's looking very nice. Good luck with it!

Tech_Greek 09-05-05 12:48 PM

Yeah, you've got to remember guys, we're used to seeing the 20 year old faded brown! :)

This is what it should have looked like off the floor! :)

christaylor 09-05-05 02:52 PM

Looks badass, Mike. Hope you get it back soon!

Hades12 09-05-05 03:23 PM

Looking good.

Dan_s_young 09-05-05 04:20 PM

looks amazing, I can't wait till I can get my project painted...

Hyper4mance2k 09-05-05 04:34 PM

i thought you were crazy painting it brown again. Now that i see it, I was wrong! That is a beautiful color! Great choice man!

Looks awesome! I can't wait to see pics out in the sun. Looks like the body work is perfect.

I don't think I ever seen a shiny brown in my life. They're all faded by now. Looks good. Keep it original. Make sure to post pics when you're done.

1985_RX-7 09-05-05 10:30 PM

Looking good, the shop looks familiar...*cough* Can't wait to see some outside pix!!!
