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

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*
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.

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.
