Off to the paint shop...
« on: February 02 2008, 09:08:36 PM »
Okay, after some vibrant discussions and the flexing of a certain massive bicep my Grand National will be fully functional again.  The car desperately needs paint, and not in a BE4U kinda way, just 20 years old.

I have been going back and forth on a two tone, blue ghost flames, or all black with a Silver/Pearl clear coat.  I just don't want the basic black, but something that will stand out and not in a gaudy way.

What do you think? Lemme know.

I'm all for changing the color!  Two-tone would be sweet.

That *is* sexy as all get-out, but I think it's kind of obscene to mess with the color of a WE2.

I think the silver and pearl would be sweet!  I am going with purple ghost flames. (Whenever this garage gets done.)

If you go with the two tone scheme, I'd have them ghost in the Buick logo
on the rear quarters (reminiscent of the '82 GN)  Maybe using a touch of prismatique
in the logo ?

I got the HRpartsNstuff bar in the mail yesterday.  Off to see the progress of Project G Machine.

I have a paint scheme in mind...


Stay tuned.

I think I need to change my pants. Fuck. Mil Spec Heim joints?

I also agree with Rob, WH1 paint job, silver/black with the red pinstriping. BLOOD red man. Buick logo on back quarters.
