FINALLY got my car back from the Paint shop, *PICS* What ya think?

[PNY PWR]

I want some bigger pictures of the orange GT, don't know about anyone else.

took half a page of scrolling to find the quick reply box, lol

I'll disagree with everyone that says the painted mirrors and cowl grill looks bad, because that part looks good. The red on the window is what makes the rest look odd.
You 2 guys may be the last of the cheese grader owners, you are a dieing breed. And rightfully so.

The cheese graters are staying

I actually like them

Next is the 99 Cobra Rims and 5 Lug with disk all round

should be done hopefully within a month

I am also a big fan of the factory GT lights, although I've found not many people agree with me. Your lights look great, taping them off for the paintjob must have been time consuming but I applaud your efforts, the end result speaks for itself. It's not easy to do a complete color change. I really like my car's current paint scheme, and plan to stick with it when I have it repainted.

(My cheese graters are staying too)

Soon to get a paintjob, not sure if its going to stay Orange. And no I did not paint it orange.


sorry about the size, 5.3 megapixel camera

Dude... I despise orange Stangs but that orange ROCKS!

 

[Starscream88]

Holy Resize pictures Batman!!!

 

[PhLoBuS]

Yeah once again sorry about the size! I do think the Orange looks pretty good, Tangerine Orange to be exact. Thanks

Also I love 2 tone mustangs, I was about to get one and repaint it the same color

with a cowl hood/pins and some welds you would be god.

Damn right, Those good looking GT tailights are staying on mine as well. As a matter of fact I though of buying a second pair for the hell of it since I found a place that still sells them brand new

 

[onesticker]

Nice job man. How mch does a decent paint job cost these days?

 

[timewarped1972]

lol, the cool thing about every one ditching the cheese graters is the cheese graters will eventually be whats different........i can see it now, some day some one will say gee where did you get those louvered tail lights i have never seen them before and us cheesy cheese grater guys will say oh their stock.....i always thought they looked cool at nite...

 

[UMDSmith]

If I may ask, what did the paint job run you, and did they do any body work prior to paint??

 

[1hot5.0]

To the thread starter: Car looks great.

Everyone else, cars look great as well.

 

[5spd GT]

The car looks awesome man...it's good that your taking care of it

Cheesegraters

Keep your taillights...the car looks good both ways...that red really brings it out

 

[Starscream88]

Thanks guys

Im loving the Red too
Ive always liked this red Ever since I seen it in England,
This will be the third car Ive owned in Radiant Red,

I actually probably own the only Mustang In Radiant Red as that color wasn't avalable here (cept in 89 on a few Merkur XR4Ti's)

 

[Starscream88]

Finally have a pic of the car in dry weather!
Crappy NJ weather sucks!

So for all that thought the car was "dull"

heres proof it isnt

 

[jpctln]

You sure love your red don't you.

The car looks great by the way. The red mirrors...acceptable; the red cowl...alright...; the red door trim...eh. I just think that whole trapezoidal window area looks best when its all black, especially when the windows are tinted.

Looks like a high quality job to me though.

 

[Starscream88]

Thanks,

I have like 50 photos of all the stages,

I went down there and saw my car in total pieces,
Everything off, hood, wing, hatch, body kit, ground affects, bumpers,
Looked like a parted out LX lol

and then I have pics of each bit getting stripped, primered (twice) painted, clear coated,

and finally all put back together,
It was very nail biting, I got so scared they were gonna screw it up

I still havent washed or waxed it and its shiny as hell,
I LOVE red paint lol

My black car stayed clean for about 20 mins after I washed it,
Dont get me wrong, I LOVE black Stangs,
But theres something about red, Esp THIS red thats really attractive to me,

 

[2000xp8]

How much did the paint job cost you? Most of the time changing the color of a car is almost as expensive as buying a car the color you want it.

 

[87'GTstang]

The paint job does look a lot better now with the new pic, but whatever you do - keep those GT tailights
