gatbird: 87' 5.0 Lx New paint and other Reply #11 – March 13, 2006, 08:48:15 PM Thanks everyone for the compliments. Its all PPG global paint and me and my buddy did all the paint and body work, even the shaved emblems and antenna. The car used to be dark grey but I wanted something different. Its a dark blue that Lexus used to use (Code 8k8). We jambed out everything (Inside the doors, quarters trunk etc). We smoked the headlights with a custom black candy and did the grill in a semi gloss black. I also blacked out the chrome mouldings around the windows and re-sprayed the mirrors to freshen them up. The car still hasn't been sanded and buffed, right now its still straight out of the gun.Funky Cricket: The hood is a bit off but theres a decent reason for that. I had a complete turbo coupe front end on it and about 3 days before we were going to paint it I rear ended a camry and screwed it all up. After pulling the core support on the frame rack and swapping on all the original sheet metal the front corner of the hood sticks up just a bit. I'm sure I could fix it, but its not bad enough, and I'd rather be driving in the cleaned up car than still working on it, know what I'm saying?I do want a new set of wheels, the old 15" five stars are definantly out dated. I am however looking for a set of darker rims, maybe not black, but graphite. Thanks again all. Quote Selected
