Yes, if I can find some "targets". Last time I was there I went to a yard in Harlingen. There was an 80's Coupe Deville with the equalizer radio there, nothing else noteworthy.

Took the car down to bare metal, painted with epoxy primer and then a sealer. Used a shop line PPG paint in the factory color with a clear coat. My son shot the primer, paint, and clear.

Thanks Andy for all the parts. Now I am thinking about a VR trunk spoiler.

[Drop Top Olds]

These pictures were taken before I installed the black wheel well trim. All parts are now on! Enjoy the photos.

Wonderful job sir, wonderful job! If you can't locate a VR spoiler, a common '82-'92 Firebird spoiler also looks swell.

[Drop Top Olds]

Thanks Andy, your help was critical to my success.

[Duke George V]

I know we went back and forth about this a while ago, but I still have that VR spoiler.

Wow that looks like a new car with the crisp, black dew strips and the shiny paint. Very nice job!

[Drop Top Olds]

Thanks! It was a lot of work, but worth it.

Daniel, glad to know you still have the spoiler. I'll think about that option again.

I forgot to mention before, I really like the gloss black paint on the window frames. It really sets off the new paint!

[SexySilhouette]

It's even better in person.

[Skip]

Beautiful, beautiful car. Awesome job on that one.

[Drop Top Olds]

Thanks so much for the compliments. I will say the black around the window frames is definitely not a stock color. It has a tinge of blue in it. I think it compliments the silver very well. It will be a while before I put emblems on it. I still need to buff it out. For now, I am partial to the "clean" look without emblems on the car.
