My new paintjob- In Progress!!!

[Brickster151]

Got these pics of how my 244 is coming along with all of the bodywork and new paint- Wish I had picture of how bad it got before they hacked away at it. The driver's side doors were smashed, which is why you see the freshly painted donor door on a rack. For $2k I am getting the whole body perfectly straight, new paint/clearcoat, painted bumpers/trim/grille etc and also I am gonna have the area where the license plate is on the rear blacked out to look like the model the rest of the world had recieved.

Whatcha think?

Nice. 200s always look so bad-ass with the rear lights out... not sure why. I'm jealous. Bodywork and paint is my summer plan (last summer was new engine). I'm gonna get one of those Brickstylz bodykits, and blend it into the body of the car :badboy: . then get it painted!

I'd give my left arm :wave: for a workshop/paint room like that!!!

*sniff sniff*...That is what I wanted to do to my 760, and it was going to be black. **** the snow...nothing but ****ing white **** that can ruin everything in seconds... :-(

As for the blacked out thing; you mean like my 744's rear is?

Good timing on that, GoThink. Perfect excuse and good timing to put the B21FT in there. Also, my car-It's staying silver for sure. I'd like Gun Metal Gray, but silver works fine.

760, yep, that's it gonna be exactly like what is on your car. After seeing two Canadian 240's with it, I decided what the heck, do it on mine too.

Thanks for the comments on it everyone. Next pics I'll post will not only include the finished product, but the whole car will be a bit slammed and the wheels will look a little different [similar to the color your virgo's are, Doug]
