custom paint job's
 

has anyone done a custom paint or theme paint job on a cub?

I was thinking of doing my 582 like the black and gold trans am I just restored.

I love the look of both, the TA and the Cub. but should I mess with the look of the cub that much?

I would paint the TA Yellow!!

:bigthink:


:biggrin2:

That TA is awesome!! Nice job!! Do some pc sketches and post them up of your ideas!

At the expense of the purists cringes and down in the mouth look they are your toys and boys will be boys and what you do with your cub is what you do. It may look pretty darn good. Besides you most likely have paint left over from the TA job so the expense will not be too bad.

being a TA purist , and a mod on a TA fourm . I tell guys the same. its yours to do with what you want. even if I think it'll look like crap to me.

thanks for the reminder, the cub is a cub , its not a TA. I would never paint a TA yellow and white

I don't mind anything custom as long as it is well done. Some guy taking a spray can and drawing a '3' on the side of their cub is not "custom" in my book.

I just got a price for a blast and paint job. color scheme will be same as the factory 126 but the yellow is gonna be yellow blaze metallic tri coat, the white is gonna be same as wifes car, 2white platinum metallic triple coat. The wheels will be silver with clear coat which makem look a lot like chrome. Thats if I have one hell of a good growing year, price... almost 7oo bucks !!
The 122 will be red candy metallic and white suede, the 128 I hope to get from mike is gonna be international red with a black stripe.
I know some dont go for all that jazz, but its my money !! till I spend it.

I painted mine a non /JD camo green to hide it some.







Eastbound and down load it and truckin, we gona do what they say can't be done, we got a long way to go and a short time to get there I'm eastbound just watch old bandit run

Nica T/A 4 speed! I had me a 77 Formula 400 back in the day. Fully loaded WS6 and super rare rear console. Now I can't find the pictures and wished I still had it.:bash2:

Here are my friends custom work done on his Original and I forget the other model. They are very nicely done in my opinion and I would love to own either of them. Personnaly I prefer something to be all original, never restored, you know those rare garage finds that the owner washed after each use. Thats my favortie look, but To Each, His Own! I think with your skill painting like you did on that TA, a TA themed cub could look pretty darn cool. Especially sitting next to each other at a car show.

A little off topic, but my buddy was cleaning out his parents barn and found his old spare hood, nose piece and new eagle decal still in the shipping tube from when he had his back in the day .

nice find. if he sell's the parts. the hood will fit 70-76 TA's if its like the one in the pic. if not its 77-81 TA
Id need to see the nose to see what year(s) it'll fit.
the Phoenix in the tube is prob junk. its been rolled up for way too many years.

the TA in the pic is a 1976 LE trans am its Pontiac's 50th birthday car. there was only 2400 made 1757 of them didnt have the T-tops

I think he is going to put them on CL or Ebay not sure. The car sat in the woods for about 15 years being eaten by mice and weeds until he sold it to a local kid for a hundred bucks about 3 years ago who got it on the road and beat the crap out of it.
