Pics of new paint job
I just finished having my 92 5-speed painted a custom dark charcoal gray along with some minor body work being completed to straighten everything out. Also had the engine swapped out with another engine I had from a low mileage 92 that I purchased, installed a new timing belt, water pump, and clutch, as well as new brakes, rotors, and calipers. These are just two pictures I was able to take today with my phone, I will take some better ones when I get the chance.

Re: Pics of new paint job
Thanks, I have always liked a dark metallic gray and this turned out better than I could imagine. I couldn't be happier with it. The car runs and drives great now, only thing I have to work on repairing is the issue I have had with losing the heat.

Re: Pics of new paint job
Thanks, I have always liked those rims but a black rim I think would accent the color well.

Re: Pics of new paint job
I really like the color choice, but I gotta say, I'd love to see it with the black roof/trunk lid. I think if I were to paint my car, I'd either keep it the original pearl white/black or a graphite/grey metallic color with the black top.

Re: Pics of new paint job
No my brother specializes in auto repair and did the paint work for me. If you are interested in a paint job in the future let me know and I'll recommend him to you.

Re: Pics of new paint job
Thanks, I am surprised you haven't noticed it but I won't be in shamokin that much for the rest of the year as I am temporarily moving to little egg harbor, nj for work for the next 6 to 8 months so the car will be down there with me since it's my daily driver.
