I know ,I don't know what was with all the grunting it's not like I am outta shape or nothin but it was pretty hot today

And I was hoping just to take it to the next level with the paint and badge's but it turned out great. I cant believe the difference I guess my old paint was just that bad.
Now im glad the guy mixed the paint for my hood wrong cus if it matched I would never have
gotten the whole car painted this soon.

If you don't mind my asking, how much did that run you?

JoshHooten · May 20, 2012

$800 Its a single stage urithane I had a buddy shoot it . The car sits in the garage all of the time and only gets taken out on sat nights and sunday's and not in the rain.
So im not worried about it fading . after all most cars before 1990 were single stage. but I did all of the bodywork including the pain in the butt shaving the rear.
it took me 2 weeks of bodywork. Its still not perfect up real close you can see a few dings I missed but I dont care I dont want a 3k paintjob on a car I dont drive that much.
Besides it looks pretty good and is very bright in person.

That's still awesome man!

And I wouldn't give you crap about a single stage job. Airplanes are painted with single stage paint lol.
Glad you're happy!

Yeah no joke my 2 cousins work on airplanes one is a technician for his own company and the other one details the planes for the same company.
A 3k paintjob is just out of the question for me right now have to much other stuff I need to get . it dose have an integrated clear for whatever thats worth.
I think now that its one color the bullitt's look much better on there now alot of people hate on the bullitt wheels but I think in certain situations they look
good. like on your car they work good.

I think both of us pull them off well

And most single stages have a clear built into them, and it's damn good. you can clear over them, but there's a technique to doing so and really making it pop. It would look even better if you did, but clear is freakin expensive. And of course red is the most expensive regular color haha!

turned out great! polished wheels would be a nice addition in my opinion.

Yea I got half way through filling in the letters and almost gave up cus you could keep seeing it wasn't smooth in the sunlight took me a few hrs or
work to get it perfectly smooth and even right up close you cant tell.
I love the look you dont see to many sn's with the shaved rear like that I think I have only seen a couple.

Looks amazing bro

this is spiffy.

C.Moser · May 21, 2012

That came out awesome man. Filling the rear bumper letters sounds like a real PIA but it was 100% worth it. That really cleans up the back of the car

JonBeast · May 21, 2012

Looks great man...now its screaming for some bigger wheels.

17" black bullitts just don't stand up to the rest of the car anymore...know what I mean?

98snakehorse · May 21, 2012

That thing is beautiful! I vote for going dumps, but thats how I roll... And the gt bumper with the mach1 chin looks best with cowl hoods. I dont mind the black wheels they stand out a bunch with the bright red. Love it!! I would reccomend a s281 spoiler, would be sex
