Hello from Dallas Texas! I recently sold the hated 2009 Cobalt andpicked up this 1998 SE with 128K. I manage a repair shop, so the next day she got new plugs, wires, fuel injector/system clean, engine flush and oil change. I also replaced the drivers window motor. Steam cleaned the tan interior. And sent her to the paint shop. This is my second 9th gen. Bonnie, and third H body, with a 1995 Park Avenue.
From baked faded and peeling Emerald Green....
To Dark Gray Green Metallic paint code from 1996 Impala SS
Finished pictures coming soon!

What paint code is that? There's a paint called Majestic Teal Metallic that's a 1996 color that was available on the Bonneville, and it was a factory colorshift paint that was absolutely stunning when polished up.

Nearly bought 2 different several years ago as my DD that were that color - it's gorgeous.
Looks like it's going to look great when finished - looking forward to finished pics!
