I love the mono-chromatic paint scheme. I had a yellow 69 Firebird done up the same way. I think it looks better than the chrome bumper. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. :thumbsup:

yeah the owner thought it would look better painted than chrome and i have to say i agree...

Sweet!

What did you do to prep the chrome bumper for paint?

70TWO NOVA 07-20-2009 03:08 PM

thanks,
I sanded it with 80 grit on my DA, primered, wet sanded, and sealed it.

Nice progress! Please give me a call though, I cannot get the drivers door to fully latch. You know how the door latches twice? I cannot get it to fully latch and I can not adjust the striker enough to fully close the sucker. It seems like the striker needs to come out more but there is no adjustment left. 2 steps foward 1 step back like always.....
