Finally getting a paintjob!

[93formulalt1]

So, here's the story. My Buick was sitting in the driveway, without any license plates, because it was wrecked. We ended up parking it over at my dad's friend's house. This guy is also a painter, so he offered to trade me a paintjob on the Camaro for the Buick. What do you guys think? I can have the car painted any color I want, and it will be professionally done. . . I am sticking with orange, but I'm getting black stripes. Let me know if you think it's a good deal!

Um, no, terrible deal, lol. YES, check him out, if he is reputable and you can see some of his previous work and it looks good, why not????

Car probily needed way to much work anyways. Get the paint job and be done with it

Well I meant, he wouldnt have the LT1 to do a swap into his camaro anymore. Which isnt a big deal because its more hassle then what its probably worth. Id go for the paintjob now, and buy a Z28 down the road.

[Orange Terror]

Wait, I thought you had the engine out of the car already? Is it still in there?

[diedwards]

Get the Paint Job cuz your car will look better with new paint. No one can see the LT1 but a good paint job can be spotted a mile away.

[93formulalt1]

No, the engine is still in there, but I would need to buy a bunch of stuff, like the wiring harness and the PCM and all of that good stuff. . . I was actually thinking about it, and I think I am going to have it painted Black. . . The guy works with my Dad, and he does great work. . . I would need to cut in all of the parts myself. I think I could make the car look sweet with very little work if I go with the black. Any other suggestions? Oh yeah. . . bye bye LT1. The guy is gonna swap it into his '86 Monte Carlo SS

[MattODoom]

Everybody knows that black is the only color to choose

Seriously though, black is great but its hard to keep clean. Looks killer though if you find a nice black car.

[Orange Terror]

I guess it depends on what you want more then, the power or the looks. Can always start saving for a swap or a V8 car after this too.

amen

[93formulalt1]

So it's agreed then. . . Black, right? I think I'd rather have the looks, because I get razzed more abouut the looks than I do about the V6. . . Nobody knows what engine I have when I don't tell them. . . Plus, the glasspack doesn't hurt things, either. . . lol

[greenmachine]

teel is the only way to go...

or mabe a nice bright green, that would be different, dont get something that everybody and there brother have.

[KILLERCAM94]

exactly, now you've got it Nick, everyone thinks I have a modded LT1 until I tell them it's only exhaust on a 3.4

[JoeliusZ28]

so let me get this straight... your ditching orange AND the LT1?

sounds like a step backwards to me.
