Car: 87 IROC-Z Engine: 355 carb'd Transmission: 700R4 Axle/Gears: 3.73 | Orange 88- do you have any other view of your car? I'm having mine painted Monarch Orange (essentially the same as Hugger) in a month and I'm still struggling on my striping details....
:-)
Thanks! |

the more coats of the cobalt candy the more purple it gets. mine had 4 coats so maybe 6 would get a purple hue and the base makes a difference also i have a blue base coat on the car before the candy. Purple pearl could also be added to get a more purple look. Hok paints are great to play with and mix n match. they all work together for the most part as long as you follow the tech manual. silver base on right blue base on left

I did it myself, lots of wetsanding to get that paint flat after 14 coats of paint. The tricky thing is you cant let the mid coat dry in between coats or it'll look weird.
The attachment is right after I painted the car. I then had to paint my GFX silver to throw off the police for a few weeks until I could get my license straightened out, lol

| Hey only took four months for me to find this post
That one guy was sure right there is at least one camaro with a Corvette Le Mans Blue Paint code U 933L with SEM Thunder Blue metal flake 
All my own work in three weeks worth of late nights and weekends and my first ever complete Paint and flame job. (of course I had been painting collision repair for about a year and half by then

Car: 84 Firebird SE Engine: 305 4bbl Transmission: Borg Warner T-5 (on my 3rd one) | I painted my car myself (first paint job/body work ever) about 5 years ago with the help of the book "How to Paint Your Car". It took me about 2 months doing it after work and on weekends when I could.
basecoat/clearcoat
Color: Viper GTS Blue (blue with blue pearl) - would have to look the color code up.
Brand: Whatever NAPA Gives out
I had it down to the metal on the entire car. Grabbed a spoiler off a friends junker and put that on. The first 2 photos are of the new paint, the 3rd photo illustrates why I needed to paint my car.    | |

Nice color!!! I just sold my 85 Z28 and it was sunset orange as well. It is one of the best looking colors and I did get a lot of compliments on it as well!
