Finally after months of owning my wagon i finally painted it, I just pulled it out of the paint booth and hour and a half ago, went in at 8:30am to prep the car and pulled it out of the booth at 1:30am what a long day but well worth it. Let me know what you guys think of it!!

Looks good cannot wait to see daytime pics.

 

Wow, the 2 tone looks good on the wagon! What kind of paint did u use?

 

Daytime pics in the sun after a good wash. the paint was dupont and was chevy colours that I liked. except for the green thats a kawisaki colour lol.

 

interesting... I think it would look sweet in all orange.

drop the car ~2" now and it will look sexy.

you going to change that intercooler?

 

yea it would but i wanted a lil cobtrast just to give it a more custom look, i plan on lowering it since i coould use new springs and shocks anyway. i would like to pick up some new rims too i was looking at a set of stock 17" or 18" from a fairly new volvo or aftermarket. yea that intercooler is actually from a newer mercedes its a $900 part that I got for free since a mounting tab was broken off. but i'll prolly take it out and put a custom grill instead and make the car look a lil cleaner. over the winter i'm doing more custom work to the interior changing the colour and getting all the seats recovered in custom material even the 3rd row fold up seat is getting modified lol. i already have 3 7" screens in the car and i'm waiting for my mini projector to come in so i'll have it projecting movies on my back window. it will be like having a 40" tv in the car lol. it will only be used when car is parked.

 

cool!

ebay intercoolers are pretty cheap and some are pretty close to stock.

 

I like!

 

Thanks. I think I'm going to add some colour to the bottom of the car I agree that there's a lol to much silver on it I think I'm gonna go with kind of a wave design just below the door trim bit I'm open to ideas you guys might have, I would like to keep some of the silver though.

 

Nice color combination there. I'm currently looking for Volvo vehicles and volvo parts that will make a good use for family vehicle. What model is yours?
