Well this is the update of 6/26 weekend of heat and Trans Am's.
Did a ton of things, most little but the effect was great.
Biggest change was the rims. I ended up going with the Black Center-Black Lip and gold pinstrip.
Not gonna post all the DIY, but is short I removed all four tires and took the rims all the way to bare metal...Whoa!!! what a pain but way worth the look- I realise the paint will only add to the work the next time i change my mind- so hopefully i just get my Vett 10spokes before then...LOL
I will also like to note: this time- no rattle and tons of clear
Before....
Jet Black
full pic with rims on...just to see how it looked..
JetBlack with pinstrip
this pic shows just paint...no clear at this time!
After this point once i saw the first rim with the pinstrip effect i went all out...even wet sand and buff...although the Black had a nice gloss from the bare metal coming threw and the thriple thick clear coat really made a nice reflection- after wet sanding and buffing them out...i could see me! and the rims currently shine better then the rest of the car...so I will be waxing the TA this weekend something seriouse.
Next was the Rear hatch...wash,vac and re-painted all the panels...all of them, this time! again no rattle and clear...nice shine i think
lol
Next Engine bay!!! had some time and money- so i started and have been little by little working on getting it better- not completely there but i pulled all the loom off- re loomed (black and some red) organized the wiring much better and re-routed most- I also clean up alot. Not done but big improvement for the lil time i have had in it so far...really want the heater hoses off the motor along with the ss lines...but another time.
