I'm painting my car, tell me what you think.

I started painting my car a couple weeks ago, I finally got some time to put the pictures i've taken so far up. check them out and let me know what you think. It's a 1985 Camaro Iroc-Z. 305 TPI, 700r4, 3.42 posi, 4-wheel disc brakes, 16 inch iroc rims, 730 SD conversion. I'm hoping to have it finished, or at least everything painted by this weekend.

Looks like you got your work cut out for you! Good luck tho, hope it turns out well. I'm sure it will be WELL worth it in the end, there is nothing more gratifying than a brand new paint job....done by yourself!

Hi everyone, my name is Todd and im 17. I totaled my car on October 31st 2001. i worked on it for about 3 months putting it back together and painting with my grandpa. It was alot of work! And let me tell ya, the first scratch breaks your heart. And the on Sept. 27 2002 a lady blew a yield sign and totaled it again. I was heartbroken!! Now im looking for a 91 Z28 with the 1le package for around $5000, not sure if i can find one that cheap but ill try. here is a pic of the first accident.
