Coronet is finally painted! pics - 01/31/09 05:44 AM

Here are some pics I took tonight of my Coronet. It just got painted after being in the process for a year and a half. Doesn't sound that bad but it needed no metal replacement and minimal body work. This was done by the second shop I brought it too. The first guy had it for almost a year and barely did anything so I yanked it out of his shop. This shop has been great to work with. There are a few things that need to be finished up, trunk and hood hinges and also the quarter extensions need to be done. Love to hear your comments.

black is the color, (well, lack of technically

). period. for me, nothing even comes close to a black paint job on almost every car...

Looks like it's a really dark maroon/purple rather than black. Either way it looks great!

I had a 68 coronet 500 once, but sold it.

I don't know if it is a 68 or 69, but either way it looks great. Can't wait to see it with all of its jewelry on.

Looks like it's a 68. I think I see a round side marker light hole on the quarter panel.

Thank you for the nice comments guys! I have to post when I have free time, at work. The car is black. It has a red metallic flake in it and you are right in a couple pics it looks like a purple. It was a BASF color I liked, we just cut the metallic down to about 25% of the original formula. In person under indoor lighting it just looks black, but in the sunlight it has a nice sparkle to it. Everything just needs to be wet sanded and buffed and hopefully it will be back in my garage soon. It is a 68. Originaly it was beige with brown interior. It will be all black soon. Here are a few before pics. I will keep posting as progress continues.
