Painting my car

exgmguy · 03-11-2002, 07:38 PM

After 2 weeks of bodywork in the garage, My car is now at the paintshop getting a fresh coat of Titanium metallic.

I put on a glass hatch and could not live with having a Mustang that is 3 colors!

Gone is the Barney purple!

Take some pics man

PS

Just so ya know,how well I did like the overall looks of your car,I had your car for my wallpaper for a loooong time

Sounds good man, the Purple looked pretty cool! Love to see some pics of her when she's done!

§am.

exgmguy · 03-14-2002, 09:19 PM

Thanks for the compliments. Kinda brings a tear to my eye.

I got the car back and it looks freakin' awesome. That Titanium color looks so wicked. Especially at night with the parking lights on.

I did the bodywork and taping myself and had Maaco spray it. I was a little concerned about their "production" quality, but I am 200% satisfied. I did not want to spend 2,000 or so on a paint job, so I took a chance.

What is great is that I got it done for 480.00. Can't beat that!

I'll post some pics as soon as I scoop up my friends digital camera.

Fox Body · 03-14-2002, 09:37 PM

Hmmm. Thanks for that useful info. That is what I planned on doing to get it painted. Another friend of mine did that also (do own body work then let Maaco spray it) so this gives me a good amount of encouragement to carry on with my plan in the future with this method.

joe4speed · 03-15-2002, 02:23 AM

I always wanted my car titanium if I ever had to repaint it. Now it's white with a blue pearl in it, and it does need repainted. The cool thing is, is that I've NEVER seen another mustang like mine!

Skyman · 03-15-2002, 12:05 PM

Nice, I had my car painted at maaco. Only $230 bux

Looks great.

Better than the $99 Earl Schieb (sp?) special!

exgm - Titanium is one of my favorite colors! Nice choice. Is it the same titanium as Ford used back in the 90's on Mustang's?

exgmguy · 03-15-2002, 08:53 PM

Yup, the color is the Ford titanium. Every once in a while I see a notch in that color.
