came from a bright red, painted cheaply a couple times. paint was chipping. so changed to a dark red metallic from color code "75" from GM.

jams, headlight covers, hatch, gas door all painted inside.

wish i could have used more clear to have more sand/buff time but oh well.












Before:




cant wait to paint my celica's.

Looks good thumbsup.gif

This body style may not be everyone's favorite Corvette but if I was going to buy one, this would be it. You get a lot of performance for what these cars are worth.

Totally agree, 80's corvette's (although scary) are pretty sweet.

OP, have you done anything mechanically or trying to keep it as stock and preserved as possible?

I don't own the vette, I just painted it. But nothing done to it except stereo- head unit, and exhaust.
