Mali2ude paint pics

[camcojb]

I wasn't going to post any pics yet, as the paint has not been color-sanded and buffed, which makes a huge difference. The painter and I decided to do the color sand and buffing in a couple months, after the paint has settled completely. I changed my mind and will post a few pics to give an idea.

The original color I bought was the darker rendering color, Infiniti diamond graphite. But we did a spray out and the color looked off, so I took it back and had then tint it. Then did another spray out and it now looked very metallic(y). So I went with another color I really liked, darker, but very pretty. BMW sparkling graphite is the choice, has a very fine metallic and mica (pearl). Beautiful in the sun, but kinda dark in the shade. I'm still very happy with it and Jim Ramirez (my painter) did an awesome job getting the car straight and color shot. Here's a few pics, will have many more as the car goes back together for Power Tour.

Jody, you should really reconsider your choice of wheels... I really expected more from you.




Obviously kidding! Paint looks sweet. Are you ready to put it back together or are you waiting for other bits and pieces?

[rwhite692]

Wow Jody that looks awesome! Has a real nice "depth" to it. The body lines really jump with that color. Great choice! -Rob

[Hdesign]

Awesome color Jody!!! :thumbsup:

That is such a nice car.

[Tom.A]

Looks great. Your car isn't even done yet but I know it's gonna be up at the top of my favorite PT cars. I look forward to seeing more. :hail:

[BC69]

Love the color, and can't wait to see it come together. Even without the color sanding it still looks great! Nice Choice.


But can we talk about your choice in dogs? You have built some seriously mean cars, but I don't know if that pup is up for the challenging of protecting that assets haha!;) :D :rolleyes:

[7TSS]

Came out very sweet. I really like how body line shadows look. Good choice. :thumbsup: :hail:

[mazspeed]

That's a darker color then I thought you were going with Jody? I also like it much better. That's going to look so bitchen. I can't wait to see it.

[zbugger]

Looks great, Jody. It's gonna be a beautiful car when it's done.

[camcojb]

thanks everyone. :cheers:

Jody

[awr68]

Looks great!! Thanks for the pics!! So does this mean it's going home soon?

[J2SpeedandCustom]

Jody that color is AWESOME! How are the bumpers, trim, etc going to be finished? Chrome, painted, other.

[Sales@Dutchboys]

Looks GREAT Jody :thumbsup: I totally dig that color:)


Paul

[comp-spec]

nice looking color

sorry Jeff, hit edit instead of quote.............. :P keeping the stock chrome bumpers and polished stainless trim around the windows. The hood chevelle lettering and peak trim, drip rail, and wheelwell mouldings were removed when Mark did the car.

Jody

[camcojb]

thanks everyone, the comments are appreciated. I like the color, but understand it's not everyones cup of tea. Should look good with the carbon fiber and grey tones under the hood and in the interior.

Jody

[XcYZ]

I think it kicks ass. That color really makes the body lines looker sharper. Can't wait to see more. :cheers:

[Autokraft]

Looks awesome Jody & Jim. Now you are on the downhill slide. Keep them progress pics coming:thumbsup:

Jody, have you decided on wheels yet? It seems like I remember you had it narrowed down to two different styles?? I can't wait to see your car done....:thumbsup:

yeah, I already have the Vintage Wheel five spokes and was also looking at the Forgeline 10 spokes. The darker paint color may change that though, might not want a dark wheel on the car with darker paint. Maybe keep lighter spokes, not sure.

I forgot about the rendering...DOH I was looking to do a similar color scheme with the Galaxy. With the way yours is turning out I'm pumped more than ever! Can't wait to see the engine bay. :thumbsup:

Is this car going on Power Tour?

[chrismoe]

Jody,

Looks killer. And, the vintage 5 spokes will make for an awesome look.

Looks nice and straight Jody. I like it.

[awr68]

Looked at the pics again with fresh eyes this morning...got home from the R&C show VERY late last night! Boy he sure did a great job! The gaps look awesome and that is a killer color for showing off body lines! Nice choice! Can't go wrong with European colors! ;)

Is the engine bay body color? How about the bottom of the car?

I'm very happy for you!! :thumbsup:

[67turbostang]

that color looks great :thumbsup: cant wait to see the car all together..

[camcojb]

Thanks guys. Tony, the engine bay, bottom of the car, dash, console, and tops of doors on the interior are all going a matt gray tone, similar to what Reactor used in their engine bay (Ring Bros car). Should work well with the new outside color.

Jody

[awr68]

Very cool!! :hail:

[Steve1968LS2]

Sweet.. :thumbsup:

Can't wait to see it with the wheels and all the goodies..

[Mover]

Nice looking car and it’s a twin turbo!:hail: Keep us posted on progress. :thumbsup:

[trapin]

Very distinctive color you picked, Jody. I like it.

I agree, you don't want to go too dark with the wheels now that you've got a darker shade on the exterior. Although the 10 spoke wheels might look good in body color. Aside from that, maybe brushed aluminum.

Great car. It'll be turning heads real soon.

[MODO Innovations]

Looks great Jody. Keep up the good work.

[formula98]

Wow! Awesome paint work, I agree it really accentuates the lines of the car. Great job!

[kwhizz]

yes, car will be on Power Tour.

Jody


Jody...........Great Job!! Looking forward to seeing it in Memphis......Just a word of caution for when we get to Little Rock......Make sure you use the "Special" wax that has the RamAirDave protectant polymers in it.......You know, the kind that Charley now uses...................LOL

[ProdigyCustoms]

With that color I am thinking a set of (10) spoke ZX3Ps, Satin black centers, Diamond Cut Edges (HOTT, HOTT, HOTT!!!), with brushed lips and satin black inners. SMOKIN!

What brakes are you running? Red calipers would be cool, Silver calipers might match well behind the black wheels

Oh yeah, Congratulations getting over this huge hurdle.

Frank, I think you're a bit more progressive and modern-thinking than me............. :D Remember, I'm kinda old, and a bit low key. I do like the ten spoke ZX3P's, but maybe silver or grey centers with polished lips.

The Germans bred those wiener dogs to hunt badgers. Little legs and long to go down the burrows and flush one of the meanest animals around. Only dog that has ever bit me (besides a back road rotty while cycling as a teen) was a little dachsund. Not really my style but I do dig those funny little dogs.

Oh and the paint color looks fantastic. Leaning towards something close to that one day.

[Datsbad]

Very badass Jody , You must feel great owning the baddest Chevelle around.
I really like those HRE wheels you had on it in the rendering.

Cant wait to see it this year on the PT.
Congrats again.

When does the car come home, Jody? I can't wait to see the motor in the car. :bow:

Jody

[awr68]

What's your ETA for the build? I'm sure you want a little shake down time before HRPT...basically when can I go for a ride? ;)

[rwhite692]

Who wants to come over and re-install all the windows and regulators for me.........

That's got to be the worst part...good for about a whole month's worth of cursing in one session...and a bunch of skinned knuckles...AND what makes it even more aggravating is that you know the people at the factory back in the day could do each side in about eight seconds..

[JohnnyGMachine]

Hey Jody,

Nice choice on the color. The dark charcoal gray will give the car some more attitude for sure - or more "Malitude"?
Now this is just my 2 cents, The HREs are nice wheels but I think visually a thin multi-spoke wheel on this particular car might actually take a little agressiveness (is that a word?) away from the overall look. I won't type my opinion on TTs. BUT, however I do think a chunky 5-spoke would look good. I think you are also on the right track as far as a brighter wheel finish to help contrast the body color.
Something that might look real hot with your dark gray metallic exterior color might be some sort of fat lip billet wheel with a polished lip, and then finish off the spokes in a satin magnesium finish? Then maybe pick up some of that magnesium satin in the engine compartment and maybe the interior?

Thanks for the opinion John, and I agree. After the car was painted I've liked the 10 spoke look less and less, just been afraid to tell Scott and Frank.......... :faint: :D I like your idea. :thumbsup:

Please stay with a standard lip on this car...

[Matty B]

I hate you!! It looks great and its also the same exact color my car WAS to be sprayed in :mad: :( Oh well my second choice is Flint Mica on a Scion TC it is a little bluer and has a pretty big flake in it... PLEASE anybody building a high profile car dont use that color I dont wanna look like Im copying. Regardless the car looks awesome and is the quintessential pro-touring A body IMO and what any Malibu should be compared to:thumbsup:

I'm actually leaning towards copying Scott.......... :unibrow: well, I can't afford HRE, but Forgeline makes a nice split 5 spoke with silver or gray centers and polished lip that I really like.

Hi Jody,

Is Jim the same guy that was working on the 69 camaro a few years ago?

Looks good.

[Young Gun]

the SP3P's are some awsome wheels...I am planning on going with those on my ride...either those or the ZX3P's

Nice choice in wheels. Those are my personal favorites. I'd get those if I could afford them with the gunmetal centers. I'd say to tell them I sent you, but they wouldn't know me from Bill in Alaska. I'd also say to tell them Bill Howell sent you, but then they'd charge you extra. Either way, I think they'd look great on your car.

[Tom.A]

Jody,

I think those 5 spoke Forgelines are nice. I have also thought about those or the ZE Tach wheel
http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x82/passperf/tach_bg.gif

I called them the other day and they are about $725 a wheel for two piece version. It's less than three piece wheels but it don't seem much cheaper compared to the 3 PC. Forgelines. The three piece wheel just sounds cooler but for me, I just don't know that I would ever need to change offsets. However you could put hub caps and that car is still gonna be one the best PT Chevelle's.

[eville]

I'm definitely a fan of the Forgeline. The renderings I've seen have 5 or 12 spoke wheels. Do you have a 'chop with the ZX3Ps in silver? The SP3Ps look nice too....

[jannes_z-28]

Really Nice Jody, that color is both discrete and outstanding. If I can come with a suggestion and if you have considered stripes I would have done that in a just a touch lighter grey.

For wheels stick with the original plan but paint the centers the same color as the car.

This time you timeframe is more positive than a few years ago :thumbsup: :hail: :cheers:


Jan

[camcojb]

thanks Allen, Tom, Steve, Jannes, Stuart, much appreciated. Wheel choice is as tough as color with me, but a lighter wheel seems to work with the new darker color. I can get a good price on Forgelines which is why I'm leaning that way, plus they look great.

I'm going through the same dilema Jody. The dark wheels would look good - but thinking of a lighter brush finish as well. Etheir way...Kick ass. Just a different attitude..Or Malitude as Johnny said.

Come on...Step up like Scott & get the HRE's. We all want to be like him!! :rofl:

Yeah, they have a new wheel I hadn't seen before that looks cool. The first one is the one I like, called the Mag. The second one is the always nice FM5.

I also have Carter working on new renderings with the Fikse Mag and the Forgeline split five spoke with my new car color. Probably have to make another poll.............:D

[awr68]

I trust your judgement! Any of those wheels would look great! :yes:

[whytry]

I like the Forgelines... I also really like the Iforged Aero 3 pc wheels too, paintmatched or even brushed.... Or the Kenesis wheel too??

[eville]

I'm kinda digging this black rim half. Maybe with a brushed center.... http://www.forgeline.com/wheels/sp3p-grnblk.jpg

[camcojb]

well, the Mag wheel from Fikse is out, only have big backspacings, too much for my car. Thanks to Danny at Fikse for the info and help. So, still looking at wheels.
