$35 Paint Job FTW!
I didn't plan on it, it just sort of happened. On one side it was a challenge/bet that came up while discussing a friends new paint cost on his car and "It can't be done any cheaper". HA! The other side was I was going to change the door color to match the hood, it turned out nice enough I spent 34.11 more to do the rest of the car. :lol:
 I ended up doing what I wanted to do 5 years ago, I procrastinate to much at times I guess.  90% Done!  Color Place Flat Black lower Satin Black upper. Krylon was too pricey.   I laid this out by hand with 1/8" the $1 pin striping stuff from O'reillys. Color place "gray".  Same with the rear. I lack a few images printed off to complete the job. $35 for a 20 footer, take it every time.  I guess I'll polish the stainless and wheels, for like the first time ever.

I think what makes a car with a paint scheme like that look good is the clean wheels and chromed bumper. Without that, most people will think the owner still needs to finish the paint.
It looks good, 'flat out'. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
