****UPDATE****

Well the factory paint was a b!t@h to remove but I got it all off! The first layer of paint went on real nice and this morning I did the stripes. HOPEFULLY I'll have the first pics of it up later today, if not it'll be tomorrow.

Sorry guys, had/have the flu. feel like crap, not in the mood to work on car too much. The stripes are done and I'm down to the detail painting and trim. I'll try to post pics this weekend for you all.

Ok I just shot the clear coat so when its dry I'll put the on the body and click some pics to post.

Guys it looks REALLY GOOD!

Well here you all go! The VERY first pics of my finished, repainted Bumblebee!

I didn't/couldn't use the flash on the camera cause all it did was blur! This thing looks like the paint is dripping off of it.

Now this is my first attept at painting an Xmod and I hope I did ok, I'll let you all be the judge. just please don't flame me if it sucks.











I may try some pics outside as my camera seems to have a hard time focusing on the car. Not sure why. So what do you all think?

Show stopper. **** nice, but seem a bit too high. I see no imperfections, all of the silver/gray window lines are there, and the chevy badge. The stripes are amazing, looks like it came like this, but someone just added a whole lot of shine.

Nothing is perfect, except this!! But really, it's just a person's opinion. Actually once I looked at it again, it's only the sides that look high, the front and rear look great!

That is one of the best bumblebees ever. I really like the red paint man. Keep it up. It might look better if you lower just a bit.

Thansk guys! Its actualy Hugger Orange and yes the stripes are painted on. Well actualy the white went on first and then the orange and the windows. The thin stripes are all hand painted. I actualy had to raise the rear end to clear the wide wheels, I used the Fire Bird jacked up rear mount to make it work.

WOW!! That is one amazing Paintjob! Do you havean airbrush kit, or is that a spray can?

You do have some serious talent there.

I love the rims too.
