So I got my regal painted

[STLRegal]

Gun Metal

This one shows off the gun metal the best.

Heres what she used to look like before to compare.

Turned out good! I like that color. Where'd you get it painted at? (Im in the STL area too)

 

[STLRegal]

Thanks, I got the paint at florissant auto paint.

[nabob_blaster]

[illregal82]

that looks great . did you save some paint you could have some rims painted the same color with a chrome lip . i love that look

 

[1980Gbody]

love color looks nice i agree with the gunmetal rims with chorme lip it look bad as hell

Nice color. Had an S10 just a little lighter than that and considerd painting my Monte that color. But, the whitewalss don't look right with the color. On the Tan it wasn't as noticeable.

 

[STLRegal]

Yeah, I still have some paint left, the door jams, trunk and hood still need to be be painted yet. hopefully ill have enough to paint the wheels. Should i have them powdercoated, or just have them sprayed?

The whitewalls arent planned for the future, but for now Ill wear them down.

Heres a concept, of what id like the finished car to look like, just pretend the whitelines are white letters. Tinted windows, white letter tires and wheels painted the same as the car. Maybe lower it a little bit, but Id be happy with this.

Nice paint job & nice color. The window tint does a lot for making her stand out. Honestly I lowered a regal and I won't do it again. Plus they are tough to sell after being lowered. 14s suck. There is virtually no tires for them and they are just too skinney and small. But I do rather like the look and being different with regrds to the Buick ralley.

You can get a white letter 245/60/14 that looks decent. Its only 25.6" tall but if you have factory gears you need all the acceleration help you can get. You can also get 225/70/14 which is 26.5 tall. I have had great luck with the Firestone Firehawks and gotten a lot of compliments on them. I used to use the BFGs but the Firehawks are better hands down all the way around. I'd probably go with the 60s and if she don't have it go junk yarding and find a g-body that came with sway bars front & rear and grab them. With the 60s & sway bars it will combat the super soft springs and actually start to feel like a solid car when hitting an off ramp.
