my only tip is to take your time, and let the paint dry/cure BEFORE you put it back on. Especially before attaching emblems or CAMARO fillins. And avoid spray paint, please use real paint...

lol thanks for the insight, im trying to do this the most right way possible lol im going to finish sanding today, then put on my first coat of primer, and i think it said i should re coat every hour or two, so i'll be doing that a few times, then sand it down and re prime if i have to. I'll let it sit over night, then tomorow after work put on my first coat of paint. I've gotten a black primer from Autozone and i'll go back tonight or tomorow for the Satin black paint. Its all automotive paint, so im, pretty sure im doing it correctly. I want to be done by friday so i have it looking good for the weekend

I'll have some pics up of the progress later tonight!

Its gonna look good!! I just used some red scotchbrite and rattle can primer and satin black on my 95. turned out pretty good. kinda hard to mess up satin colors imo. besides it was a race car not a show piece.

Hope it turns out well! Seeing this thread I couldn't believe its been 8 years since I did that mod.....I have since gone back to stock since the "Berger" has become "more popular"

lol, nice. I love your rims. Those are probably my fav. set for our gen, besides the ZO6 wheels. Did you have satin black or flat black?

It is satin black and the CAMARO fill-in were the silver ones used on the 35th LE SS's.
