So 2 tone mixed up paint is a mod?


thats actually 3-tone.


and why is the body painted 2-tone?
and why doesnt teh paint line actually match up with the bumpers?






This car was supposed to be my project car,and it's supposed to be in storage right now,awaiting dissasembly,while my Zetec should be doing winter beater duties,but it's in storage till the spring to be repaired and sold. When I knauberized it back in the summer,the driver's side came out great,but when I did the passenger side,it actually peeled off paint in a couple spots and I was also left with large clearcoat ridges. Obviously,it looked like crap,and I had been toying with the 2-tone scheme in my mind for a while before I did it. After successfully ruining the paint on the car,I wasn't going to take it to a bodyshop and spend a couple hundred bucks to fix it,because the car would be repainted next year after the motor rebuild. (All of this which is no longer happening,because I'm buying a 2003 GMC Sonoma SLS crew cab 4x4). So the paint was ruined,and I had some of the graphite grey paint laying around,so I prepped the car for paint,and a week later,over 20 hours of prep and labour paid off with a temporary (but well done) paint scheme.

The reason the paint on the doors does not line up with the bumpers is because I started the paint from where the top of the door ding gaurd would have been,and that doesn't line up with the tops of the bumpers. Plus it was supposed to be temporary,so it didn't really matter,it was only supposed to get me through the summer and winter. It only cost me like $45 to do the paintwork.

Tomorrow I'm putting the stock green trunklid from my Zetec on it to get rid of the black trunk,because being unpainted really,really annoys me.
