Yea Mike get that paint job done buddy. Looks good Chris I was thinking of doing the same thing to my car but by this summer I am planning to buy the car that comes with the Alpine White stock and keeping the max until it blows up as a second car which I think will be a long time.

Gjohnson & D-sta I am starting to think my car will never be painted . I am almost finished getting my hood nice and slick though...one more session of block sanding should do it. Then I am Moving on to the fenders, doors, quarters and the the roof. The good news is that the rest of the body is pretty straight and shouldnt take me as long to get slick. It took a while with the hood because of all the little dings from people shutting this hood by pressing down on it. The problem I have is that I hate cold weather and I havent got a heated shop to work on the car in.


anyway back to Chris' car since this is his thread. The car really looks great and I kinda wish I had kept mine white. I love how the white maximas look with the Stillen kit...I especially like the blue pearl added.

I'm not a huge fan of pearl paints in general, but your car certainly looks better now than it did before.

Not that there was anything wrong with it though.

You give me a little too much credit LOL. I am trying my hardest but who knows how good it will actually turn out...I am hoping for the best but who knows. I know that I have learned a lot and feel I am ready to start of the Chevelle as soon as this car is finished...that is unless the Maxima doesnt turn out as good as I think and discourages me.
