NICE JOB! I think the best part of it all is that price tag...most of us spend so much money on paint jobs, etc. I have been interested and reading up on painting my Camaro for some time and hopefully will one day do it myself. I'm glad to see that you did it yourself.

Couple of quick questions though - Where did you buy the paint? And where did you find a painting booth to paint the car?

I originally wanted to try a garage job, but with paints today, it just doesn't make sense. It's best to simply rent a booth like you did.

As for stripes...go for WHITE! I've always loved Orange, but I love how your's is a shade of it's own...damn it's bright!

Best of luck with your "NEW" car.

Just a suggestion, but I think you should have painted stripes on it before you cleared it. If you had masked off the stripes and painted them on before you cleared, and then cleared the whole car, you could have sanded down your initial 2 coats of clear and re-cleared it to make you stripes feel smooth over the whole finish. You wouldn't have a raised appearance to them. Unless you plan on vinyl then that would be fine.

 

i think your car looks sweet!! nice job with everything!!

 

Hey David. Are you still in TX. I met you on base a couple months ago. Your car looks great! Quite a bit different from when I saw it in primer. Where did you rent the booth and get your paint? Oh yeah, wish i could have helped with the T's.

what kind of a paint gun did u use? and how much was it?

 

hey brian... i'm in tucson az now. i used the booth here on base at D-M. got my paint from a supply store here in town. pretty cool guys.


saint...i used a syphon feed gun. it was made by snap-on.. it is really old and sucked ***... with a new gravity fed gun ..i could have made it perfect. painting was pretty ez..it does take time to perfect it but i will always paint my own car from now on.

 

good job white stripes btw

 

Thats an interesting color, i think i like it!

 

go with black stripes
stay away from the anniversay style stripes your car is too unique to copy anpther car. go with something suttle and all origional just my 2 cents

 

I like it alot too. As far as color, I know it's not one that you gave a choice for, but I think some shade of blue would look KILLER! Either that or black

 

white stripes

 

looks good, i'd go with white as well

what spoiler is that?? it doesn't look high enough to be the lg motorsports one. is it?

 

I like it.
Go with white stripes.............and paint the headlight recesses black again.

 

looks great!!!

makes me wanna paint my headlight and grill parts to match

 

I honestly liked it more when it was primered black. I think you should paint the headlight area black again. But its good....
