Post your Sliver,Black and GumMetal Paint.

Wanted to see those colors because i am thinking of colors there is the guy on here that had the Dupont 44490 Pepper Gray that LOoked Amazing. and i am going back and forth Black OR Gray so i kinda wanna see the best of both worlds or even a racing Stripes.
here is mine that i thought would be a Nice Gray but came out kinda Brown about 2 years ago. THATs why i am repainting.

Thanks man. I've put a lot of time and money into it lately trying to get her where I want.

I've got some Mint glass t-tops coming and I've been sitting on my can of paint for the "red taillight mod" for months now, just haven't worked up the motivation to pry apart the lenses yet.

And I stated in the other thread, I WAS going to go with polished 17" IROC's, but I saw them in person on another Camaro and was less than impressed.

So now I've decided to go with some 17" polished C5 Y2K wheels. After that, the outside is done. In that second pic the Eibach Pro-kit was just installed. Lowered it a little in the back, but nothing dramatic compared to my 14 year stockers. Handles alot better though.

Thanks BadBowTie. I wouldn't say it's the nicest, it deffinatly has quite a few small flaws that I will be working out over time. Back bumper has a few chips in the paint. Needs some Z28 emblems on the drivers side and the rear. Few scratches in the paint. The list goes on..

But for 19 years old (older than me only by a few months.. june 86 and feb 87 ) and 3k bucks not to shabby

Yes I know my car's birthday.. no we don't have a party lol..

The reason I chose the powerbuldge was to give it a little more. I really like the way it turned out.

You would figure...the only thing I found was a sweat spot on my window but that was about it.

It was pretty cool.

So what did YOU get out of it by letting her lay on your car like that?

C'mon, the truth, you knuckleheads, have you really LOOKED at Gray's car. I suspect it's a piece of crapola, but--oh hell, I forgot to look .

By the way, Gray, was that "sweet" or "sweat" spot?

That looks so awesome! I think our cars will come out looking somewhat similar. I considered a bird on a bulge hood like that, but decided i'm going for a RA1 hood instead. I want the bird to be ghosted in with a flame similar to yours coming out of the mouth. I absolutely love how yours looks... it makes me even more anxious to get the rest of my car painted platinum

one more thing 82Firebird, can we take a peek under the hood? I have a feeling it's empty right now and I'm assuming you've had that painted also
