Hey, where'd the idea for painting the back panel of the trunk lid come from

How about a pic of the seperation line between the white and mocha on the trunk? I want to see how you handled it. I love the way it looks.

Nice paint job! Let's see some daytime pics!

I put a white pinstripe along the bodyline too




I have to touch it up too I hit the door a few times

I painted my interior white back when the car was bright white

Slick. I really like that door panel makeover.

i tried to do that same thing last week end with the paint on the doors to the dash, but i broke my door panel

yea u have to be real gentle. thats why i decided to leave it white

I love it!

I was wondering earlier this week how a Riv would look in the front with the white on half the front edges toward the hood. Looks SWEET, like a streamlined Manta Ray.

You've got an interesting and unique start. I'm also liking the white dash pieces, but the beige looks tired and worn out. If you've got a place to spray maybe you should get some SEM black (and vinyl and plastic prep so it doesn't flake off later) and paint over the beige stuff. Big job, but not a lot of money and IMO what you've got is worth building on. Similiarly, the pinstriping on the trunk is worth having redone by someone who can put it on straighter. You should also get some Crystal View and clean up those oxidized cornering lenses.

This car will look great with a drop and a big set of chrome rims. I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops.

i know what u sayin but keep in mind this is my first paint job ive ever done

the car was white before u did the 2 tone wasn't it

yup it was bright white

did you remove the dash to paint it or just tape ALOT off??

thats what im wounder . because i tried to paint that same part with no luck

The dash paints fine if you remove it (not hard to do), clean it with SEM plastic prep, and use a good paint like SEM.

anoswal - sorry if that sounded critical. I do think you've made a good start on the car.
