    Pics of a 94 3kgt we just painted

    Here are some pics of the process of tearing a car down to paint and do body work. I wish I took more pictures of the car before we tore it down and during the process. I'll just have to wait until the next one. This one was one of the worst cars we brought back to life. We had to replace the front bumper, rear bumper, door, hood, side skirt, roof, and windshield. We added a hood spoiler at the same time. The color is BMW Deep Sea Blue metallic.

    Someday I'm gonna show up there bearing pizza.
    Ranked No. #1 in initial quality

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    As long as it isn't bearing pizza, then you are invited

    Oh, I would take your order, first.

    Have you ever sprayed that Pearl Green, Hans?

    I think it's my new fave 3S color...

    Btw- the car looks great - you must be good at "applying paint".

    We've sprayed pretty much every stock color that has come on a 3/s. I'm not a huge fan of green, but the 98/99 green is pretty nice.... for green.

    I have a guy with 20 years of experience that works for me doing the body work and paint. He's super anal when it comes to doing a car from start to finish. I wanted to hire him a helper, and he refused. He likes knowing that he did all the work and how it was done.

    Danube Blue Pearl. Nice.

    Better wheels and a drop and that thing would look pretty bitchin'.

    It's actually a BMW color. It's a bit darker than Danube Blue. It does have the same purple/blue effect though.

    Reading that before seeing the finished product had me cringing at what was exactly done, then saw the pictures and was relieved to discover that it was a typo. VERY nice job.
