My Newly Painted 1997 GTS

[SJT97GTS]

My digital camera died, but I did get a picture taken. It's now 2001 GTS Sapphire Blue w/ 18" OEM wheels. If you notice, the writing on the side is still my old Viper Red, just for old time sake. Here you all go...

Why did you (or have to) re-paint?

Sean,

VERY nice.

How much did the paint job cost and did they remove the panels and trim pieces for painting?

No overspray?

Nice pic Sean, but I will testify that it looks even better in person! Sweet ride.

Sweet! Looks, um... Sapphire Blue! Hope my painter does as good a job...

Looks like they did a really nice job, very smooth looking, and probably better than the factory paint. My factory paint has so many ripples, I think the body panels were made with the "RTM" method, standing for "Ripple Transfer Molded" process.

Anyway, yours looks first rate. So tell us, how much did you pay?

Why it was painted:

An Isuzu Rodeo changed lanes at 15 MPH and paid me a vist damaging the hood, front facia, and right front pannel. All were replaced and needed to be repainted (original red). Insurance was going to cover $3k of the paint job and for another $2200.00, I could have the car totally repainted.

So, I repainted it something I really wanted, Sapphire Blue! I had it done by Concord Auto Body here in St. Louis, MO. They do all our body work/painting on all our cars (my family). They do as good of a job as I've ever seen.

I couldn't ask for better, my paint job is BEAUTIFUL and 100% perfect. Now I just have to keep those nicks off!

By the way...

They removed all the panels when they painted, so it's as if nothing ever existed below the Sapphire. Only a professional could tell that my car has been repainted. No overspray!

Vipers are pretty easy to paint, especially that removeable roof on the GTS! Just kidding...
