Oh no, I hate that silly wing :evil:, it's going on my LUV :lol: (just kidding).



Currently, I have both headlights up cause I hate the wink. I just unplugged the other when it was up. The drivers side motor just died on me (thankfully while it was up). Ugh, and the local junkyard wants $85 for a used one!!! Thats just rediculous.



And it was gold before :D, not silver. The paint had just faded terribly!




But heres the best part, I didn't go anywhere... I did it myself! The Rustoleum way. And I must say, that damn sanding is very therapudic. After my accident, I had nothing to do (no work or baseball, not even school for a while), so I thought, what the hell, I'll paint the Fiero.



So glad I did. But that was a lot of work. And I haven't been pulled over yet.... I do tend to speed though...

Very nice. Did you use a Rustoleum color for the stripe? Which color?

I wish some would video some of the brush paint jobs.. Just short parts of each step.... A picture is worth a thousand words and video is priceless :D

I posted a huge amount on the roller method under one named $50 paint job. I actualy think it and all the pics are at least as descriptive as a video would be.

And you would'nt have to listen to the West Texas accent. :ewink

If anyone is about to embark on this process, I would be happy to answer questions. I'm actually gonna redo mine this fall when it cools off a bit. Gonna change colors this time around.
