Progress on repaint of 96SS to Millennium Yellow!
Hey Guys!
Most probably don't care, but I made up a quick page to track the progress of the repainting of my SS to Millennium Yellow!
If you care to see what an SS looks like with only it's rear quarter panels attached, take a look here! They are three days into the job and already well underway IMO. Looks like things are going pretty good!

Cool Brent. I checked out your pics. I can't wait to see the finished product!! I'm trying to decide if I want to paint my Z Hugger Orange or Electron Blue. Man, it's such a hard decision!!

Damn dude you got a lot of wheels. Cool thing is I finally found a pic of a black Z with TT2's so I know exactly what they'll look like on mine when I get them next week. Thanks!

Brent, are you going to leave it ALL yellow, or are you gonna put some Black 35th Anv. Stripes on it?
I think it would look real nice with some Black (or even white) 35th Stripes

WOW!...when the bug bites, it bites hard. I understand it had to be fixed, but black to yellow? Trust me, I think it'll look great. I haven't seen yellow on a camaro since the early 70's. Can't wait to see the finished product. Like you....waiting..

Hey Brent, are you going to paint the headlight and grill area black again? If so are you going to clear it? Just curious. It doesn't really matter what I think, but I recently saw a yellow Z28 and the headlight and grill was yellow, it looked like ***. Go black!

I briefly thought about taking the "grab part" off the gas tank filler lid and installing a solenoid operated "bar" that basically locked the filler lid in place and popped it open when I pressed a button but I didn't have the time to install everything I'll probably still do this but won't have the gas tank lid smooth. If you have some pics of your car, you should send them over to me! I'd love to see it!

I'll definitely work on posting a pic of the TTIIs on my car. I've been wondering what that car would look like with the Boyd's and the TTIIs myself. I have so many people telling me how good the car looks with the Enkei Win wheels that I think they'll be ticked if I change them out. LOL! I'll give it a shot though

I just added more pictures. They have started spraying the Millennium Yellow on the panels they removed. It is taking NINE coats to cover it adequately. They said it was like a tint paint instead of a regular paint. It's going to look pretty good I think They should be applying the clear to these panels later this afternoon!
