Will be painting my TA in the next couple months or so, and she is goin candy coblat blue over a silver base:yumyum: and figured id host up some progess pics of the body work and such. I know i have too dam many projects lol, but whats one more... right?

Pic of the trashed front end, chipping/peeling paint on the front bumper from when i bought it. Hood and headlight covers were also riddled with rock chips //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blackeye.gif.66a1670f5aaf7f406e783a63e3387dc5.gif

Hood half stripped and front bumper feathered out. The last place who spotted the front bumper sucked balls. ****in thing had peeling everywhere //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif

And now primered, burried out anything that was left. Nothing like a different colored front end lol. But it could have been worst, i could have used gray or buff.

Will hopefully be shooting the jams over the next couple weeks and then the whole body when the painter is free again within the next couple months //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

wheels/tires and life time ballance was $1300, with my employee accomidations. Should have been $2-2500 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I worked at a wheel/tire shop when i bought them and now i work at a paint shop //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

And ya its gettin repainted, mainly because i got the dealer i bought it from to take 1000 off because of the problem the paint had. Only had planned a fresh black paint job over but the painter talked me into candy blue

Should do some metalic silver under the candy blue, makes it stand out alot more
