got it back today and took a few pics before it started to rain again

everything got fresh paint minus the hood, roof, trunk lid, and rear bumper - and you can't tell the difference unless you know about it and then you can sort of see that the hood etc are slightly faded compared to the new paint







the white you can see at the bottom is an adhesive caulking used for the new custom rockers and will dry clear and if need be ill smooth it out somehow but it shouldn't be that bad really

my script/badge was broken when he removed them but shouldn't be hard to piece it back together and since i'll be plasti dipping them again there should be no visible crack in it

any tips for reinstalling them? not sure best approach and a little worried about not getting them back to same spot but luckily I can use my brothers 01 ss to help size em up :P

 

Looks like he did a nice job on your car

Keep up the great progress

 

He did a really good job for sure since you had a lot of rust. Nice work. It matches quite well.

 

I friggin HATE rust. I live in the salt belt WNY. Just about everything around hear has rust or rott or will be shortly. Way to go Scott 05, for putting some new life into your monte.

 

looks nice!! my rust is worse, but in july my monte will be heading down the same road as yours. im getting the whole car painted tho. different color. i cant wait. im so excited! good thing you tackled the rust when you did. mine went from just a little bit to a ton in just over a year!! insane how fast the stuff spread.

 

Looking good!!

 

still need to get some rims for it though, going to be ordering some stuff to replace the stereo in the next couple days

 

so spent my day off doing this, not sure if I like it or not - I don't hate it but given their size they come off as winter tires : /

 

maybe try adding some center "bling" to make them stand out more.or maybe something going around the edge..and you may like it better. they look nice...they just blend in with the tire.

 

Around the very outside part of the rim paint them the same color as your car. That way it will make the rim and tire not look like one then. I mean the very thin part of the rim that is lifted more then the rest of the rim.
