Fresh paint job on 85 Cutlass...

I love pearl white hot rods and yours looks nice as well. You're right, that door trim does look nice on the before pic and would look great with your new pin stripe. 8)

Thank you for the compliment as well...

I think the door trim will look nice as well, I just haven't had any luck finding the pieces in good condition...

Damn! quick turn-a-round time...how long did it take to do the bodywork and paint? I'm jealous...haven't messed with my car in a couple months....kinda getting fed up with ppl giving me sh*t about when I'm gonna paint it...looks good man! I'm still undecided if i like it better with or w/o the chrome rocker trim....I'm keeping my chrome. are you going to replace the chrome trim on the front and rear bumper covers? it looks like the rear doesn't have any anymore...ok just my lil 2 cents...I like the original style pinstripe where it swoops around the quarter window and door rather than straight, and the exhaust tips, too short they look kinda funny....and it would've been cool if you paint the sides of the t-tops white to match the car, i've seen it on other T-top cars and it looks good. I agree to put the door end molding back on also helps protect the doors edge from paint chipping...love the pearl white, i can just picture how it looks with the sun gleaming on it...PROPS!

Naw...I'm not replacing the chrome trim around the bumpers...

The only chrome I'm looking to replace are the wheel fender pieces and the pieces that go along the edge of the door. Hopefully I can find some in decent condition...

I actually like the straight pinstripe. I didn't notice a difference until I got home and looked at my old pics. The straight one gives it a little bit of a cleaner look, IMO. I wouldn't have minded either one, though...

The exhaust tips are angled behind the wheel, that might be why they look short...

I didn't even think about painting the side of the t-top. I might go back to my painter and asked him how much that would be. Thanks for the advice...
