Got the Camaro Painted-*LOOK*
It still needs water sanded and buffed, then it should look like a mirror! Rims got ordered last night should be here next week, and I have fuel lines and tranny lines to hood up and I should be able to fire it up! The paint is one of a kind, Black/Silver met. with lots of copper flake in the clear! Enjoy!

Re: Got the Camaro Painted-*LOOK*
I like the black and silver but am not fond of the 'style' of having flakes in the paint. Although, minds can be changed. Please post 'in the sunlight' pictures when possible.
Take care

Re: Got the Camaro Painted-*LOOK*
The more I look at your paint job, the more I am starting to like the copper flaking. Now rims, damn this car will look sexy as hell, not to mention be one of a kind as well.

Re: Got the Camaro Painted-*LOOK*
Looks great! Very close to the same color of the new 1986 Z28 I drove for a few days back in 1985.....Haven't seen another dark brown Camaro since! Nice job, I'll post my "paint in progress" pics next week.

Very old school, I remember cars in my late 80's "hot rod" magazines with that same style and flair 
Brings back memories...

Well thanks guys the car does look amazing! And the 388 got started up for the first time tonight and it sounds amazing, has one of the quickest throttle responses i have ever heard this car should run very hard!

Re: Got the Camaro Painted-*LOOK*
It looks like a nice quality job, but I'm not feeling the cooper flakes. I like my blacks deep and dark (No racial undertones intended, I'm talking strictly car colors).
Nice car though, but by your choice of wheels and car color we have very different tastes.

Re: Got the Camaro Painted-*LOOK*
I really like the color as well, wheels, no. Next time you take pics, dry the car and the windows off, it will look even better.
