It's not complete, but it's close. I have a different stripe package I'm putting on tomorrow. If I don't like it I will change it back to this set up. Hope you like!

Very, very nice. That's all I got.

Looks cool :cool:

There is a 95-97 Grand Marquis with a similar paint scheme with a Marauder engine transplant (John Kuhn's)

Eh, not my thing. Its different though. Good work trying something new.

nice job man, paint looks minter then mint!

Your car looks great!! Enjoy it :-)

That looks sweet!! The grill okks great painted to the top color along with the trim on top of it. The shaved door handles really smooth up th lines too.

The interior looks good, but the painted dash is a little over the top for me personally.

Regardless you did a fantastic job doing the repaint, it is absolutly flawless.
I would love to see the car in person.

Eh, not my thing. Its different though. Good work trying something new.

I appreciate that not all will like it. I personally LOVE IT!!!!!!!! In person it has its own Ehness, you might say.:) I get nothing but, that looks awesome 10 times a day.:runaway: So, thanks to the people on this board that have KINDLY stated, to each their own. It seems everyone has stayed safe and stuck to the solid color paint jobs, probably because they look awesome. I love a solid color paint job on our cars as well. I also like to changing things up a bit.:headbang:

After all the years of owning this car, there is only one person I know of personally that has tried something new and different, Davford17( keep it up brother):bowrofl: . My hat is off to everyone that has tried to do something other than what the majority are doing with these cars. I have been told PICS don't do the paint job justice. I just love looking at the car any possible way I get a chance. :dancefool

My god, where would we be today if we just did everything that our neighbor does. How daring is that? To those of you who like it, THANK YOU. To those that don't, I can appreciate that as well. But for gods sake, What ever you do in life, change things up a bit, try something different. Take some chances, floating with the current is boring.

seanklsc, your car looks great. That is exactly what my car was before the change. Except it has a custom interior. But, after 10 years of ownership, it's a very refreshing change. Thanks for taking the time to give your opinion. Best of luck with your ride, they are beautiful automobiles.

You know what the greatest part about doing all of this is? Once I'm board with it, I can change it.:Beer

Hey if you ever come down the Tulsa way let me know i'd love to see the car.

Thanks guys. Doing this, It was one of the best times I've had in years. I did everything myself including buffing it out. I had a friend spraying it for me. It took just over a month of eight + hour days of steady work. I now know why these guys charge 15 grand for a show quality paint job. I removed all glass and trim, as well as the bumpers and everything else I could get off of the car. I can honestly say, I know this car inside and out.

I really wish you all could see it in person because, the PICS really don't do the paint job justice. I'm thrilled to death with the final product. We were able to do under the hood as well as all the door jams and trunk. If anyone gets the opportunity to do something like this, don't hesitate. It was so rewording and worth every minute I put into it. If you do get the chance to do something like this, make sure you tag EVERYTHING. By doing so, it made this a very enjoyable experience. Without tagging everything, it would have been a true nightmare.:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Thanks again guys.

Are you coming to the beach party this summer?

It came out way different than I expected. I'm not too sure about the grille color but I definitely like it.

Beautiful work. Nice job!

wow, thats all ive gotta say, nice paint job.

I'm not one for two tone paint on a mark, but I must say I like the way you have done it. I like it. Hopefully you can make to the cruise in canton.

By the way, the cruise-in, in Canton, Illinois is on the 15th. Usually a great cruise-in.

Are you coming to the beach party this summer?


Yes, I think I will. I have a little hottie that wants to go, so why not. It should be very interesting to meet a lot of the people here. It should be very interesting to see what type of different people we have here, whether they are kind or egotistical or what not. It sounds like a lot of fun.

I will have to see if I can find a room around there, maybe at the town 10 minutes away or something. I don't think I should make her sleep in a tent.
Or should I. :rolleyes: I have some property in St. Croix Falls, WI. Might kill 2 birds with 1 stone, as they say.

The car itself is far from perfect. It looks great in PICS, but it definitely has it flaws. I don't know how many saw the April Car Craft? The cover was $1,016.00 paint job. That's kinda the approach I took. I'm still happy as H E double hockey sticks. I look forward to seeing you up there Kustom.

Repost.

Looks great-
have you ever explained how you painted the interior?

Very nice :D
I'm jealous :p lol...

Thanks, as far as the interior, I used Easy Off oven cleaner to remove the rubber coating and then just sanded it down and shot it with primer and paint. It wasn't difficult at all. The center console I just sanded it down then primer and paint.

Did you do the work while inside the car and tape off the interior, or remove all the trim pieces to do it?

I think it looks great.:headbang: I had been yammering on Geno for 6 months to do a photoshop of a two-tone for me so I could see what it looks like.

The sides of my DD have a few too many dings for my preference (4 kids and a wife that drives it to work occasionally) and I wanted to redo the sides to make them straight again.

Now if I do it I'll be called a copy-cat. I guess imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Now to import your pictures and play with the colors myself.;)

Well St. Croix is a good drive from Boscobel... not a drive for staying the night LOL...

I took everything out of the car and then painted it.

I had a few dings as well. I went to Dr. Dent and they removed 7 spots for $150.00. I swear by those guys. As far as doing the 2 tone, go for it. The thing that amazes me is that so many seam to be set on not liking the 2 tone paint that they don't keep an open mind when they look at it. I love the solid paint job, but come, I just don't understand how someone could just flat out dislike the 2 tone. I'm not necessarily saying I think it looks better than a 1 color job, but on the other hand I think it looks great. Just my opinion.

As far as doing the 2 tone, go for it.

You know if Chip Foose was doing this car, it would be a two-tone paint job.:eek:

IM lovin it...

I also want to point out that I got the idea (for the interior) after seeing Genos ride. Give credit were credit is do. Thanks Geno!:headbang:

Looks great, in and out.

Looks awesome, turned out really great... i'm sure it turns heads everywhere you go.

I really like it. The two tone looks pretty good to me. The Mark seems like a kinda tough car to pull it off on, but I like it. I like the interior too. Some day I would like to paint my interior pieces like yours. Not necessarily the same color, but I like the idea. I agree it looks similar to Geno's car on the interior.

Hey, this is the guy with the blue mark. Just saw your car 10 minutes ago, and talked to ya. Pics don't give it justice, it looks awesome man.

i like it, maybe you could of followed the curve over the rear window across the trunk (or maybe you did and i just cant tell from the pics) but its still looks good

Yea, it was good to meet you. It's always good to see younger guys appreciating these cars. That Blue on Blue you got also looks great. I have met a few KC people on these boards lately. We should try to all hook up one of these nights at a sonic or something.

Take it easy,

Greg

I might be out of place saying this so don't take it the wrong way but when I first looked at it, it looked like a backwards landau top. I LOVE the bottom half color but the top sort of tricks you at first. That interior is beautiful though so I see where you got the colors to work with from. I'd get some brighter chrome tips to accent the wheels. That is a hell of car. I admire your effort. (Removing lips from buttcheek)

Thanks, I think.:) I went ahead and painted the dash the color we choose for the outside lower half. I'm not sure what you mean by, chrome tips for the wheels. Can you elaborate? Thanks for your input.
