Talking Finally got my car back from the paint shop!

I finally got my car back from the paint shop and so I figured I would put some pics up and see what you guys think. First I will tell you the background, the car was originally Quasar Blue, but I decided to get it repainted 04 Yamaha Blue. Now the reason for this was that even though the before pics look good, the paint actually wasnt in good shape(peeling, chips, had runs in some places, etc.) so I decided to repaint it but I didnt want it to look like every other Camaro out there(especially after a $3,000 paint job) so I chose to paint it to match my bike. The color came out darker than on my bike so they dont exactly match but I still love the color.

One pic of the new paint is on page 1 and the before and after pics are on page 2.

Thanks guys,

Awesome color, everything looks great...except the badging a Z28 as an SS, but then I guess everyone has their opinions on this, not trying to start a flame war...

It looks great. How does the new color match the Quasar? Did you do the jams and engine compartment? I've got a Quasar that I'm thinking about doing in 'vette electron blue, but I'm concerned the engine compartment will clash...

Thanks guys.
Tony J - I had the jams, trunk, etc. painted also so I am not sure on how it would look without them done.

Hey man,

Awesome color, Blue is my favorite color also and I think you hit the nail on the head with that one. Just a suggestion. A buddy of mine has a 01 SS and he had the 35th ANN edition checkard look down the hood and on the spoiler, definitely dressed the car up good. I think if you did that in a metallc silver the car would be hot. Everyone has their preference like said before. Still the car is awesome. Keep the F-body america beautiful. 2 thumbs up

The paint job set me back almost 3 grand, thanks for the compliments.

Omatter - Thanks for the suggestion, I might look into that. Do you have any pics or know where he got the stripes from?
