    Default My freshly painted ride

    So i finally got my shit painted after having a purple front end for over a year..
    from this


    to this






    Not a show paint job by any means but i think its great for only having about 800 bucks in it(materials). All the body work and paint was done by a couple of guys at my tech school.

    Thanks guys..I got the whole car repainted.. I actually got into a little fender bender in a parting lot and the person hit me so hard square in the back of my car that it not only broke the rear bumper support but put creases in both of my quarterpanels.So that took some body work to fix.

    I dont have any pics of that wreck but i do have some from the original wreck which was the reason i got the purple front.

    I didnt go with the 99-00 frontend because i picked this front up from a guy in atl. for 200 bucks(hood,fenders,headlights,bumper and grille) who had just done a 99 conversion on his hatch.. Oh but i did get a 99-00 rear bumper since i needed a new one and they're the same price.

    A couple of my friends at South Ga Tech(where i go to school). All i had to pay for was materials and with some stuff i was basically replenishing their supply at the school:1 gallon body filler,1gallon primer, 1gallon milano red paint,1gallon reducer,1gallon clear w/activator and like a quart of sealer.Ended up costing me less than $800..I gave one dude a muffler tip i got for free and gave the other dude 20 bucks..Hey, it was a learning process for them. One guy was even student of the month in his class lol..
