After 2 grueling weeks of waiting patiently, I finally got to drive her home tonight. For those who didn't know, I was having a few body panels repainted including the whole front bumper/head light buckets, and the hood.,,etc

Turned out really nicely, I even installed a new set of front turn signals/driving lights and got rid of my old oxidized ones. I bought a new nose emblem from GM as well. Now I'm ready for a car show this coming Saturday

here's 3 teasers until the clear coat hardens enough to be able to wash her off real good

 

man that is an awesome shade of blue.

i know how you feel about not having the car. i havent been able to drive mine since the begining of summer.

 

SWEEEEEEEEEEET, But is that a dent on the hood in pic 1, and did it cost extra to paint the air dam?

 

do u own the mustang and the camaro?

 

that is not a dent, what you're seeing is the reflection of the ceiling in the garage

and he didn't paint the air damn, there is a bit of dust from when he sanded the car all over the place, and from an angle it looks blue. dont worry I'm gonna wash her up real good tomorrow

 

 

I love that blue, good job

 

thanks

 

what color blue is that? other than just "stock blue"

 

yep, looks good. new lights too, looks nice.

 

Looks great, now get that bike away from the car!!

 

looking really good there man!

 

the 88 iroc is mike's, the mustang is his brothers.

 

it's stock blue


No it's really called Ultra Blue Metallic.

 

Looks pretty good. Next time I get my car painted (which hopefully will be when a nice LS1 goes in), I'm gonna gut it and get it painted right with a metallic red.

 

looks good nick. i really like it. but whyd u have to tease me like that lol

 

boy is that ever a pretty car.

 

i like it alot.
did the painter use a two stage or a single stage paint? any idea on the cost?

 

single stage. just your normal color/clear paint job. He said that this color is really easy to spray compared to alot of other Camaro/Firebird colors he's painted

 

here's 2 more pics. I'm supposed to meet up with my photographer sometime soon to do another photo shoot. Probably won't be for another 2 weeks or so, but that's ok cuz I suck at taking pictures




Here's the quarter panel that was painted, and yes I know there's swirl marks from the buffer, I will fix it tomorrow or Friday

 

would you mind if i "borrowed that color?" when i get my car painted next summer? i really like it but i think im gonna paint it gray with black stripes anyways.

 

i love that color, but id like a two stage personally.
do they make it in a two stage?
and about how much is it per quart?

 

why would i care if you paint your car the same color as mine, it's not like a custom color or anything

 

i like it man,keep working in it .

 

what are you wanting? to spray the blue seperately from the metallic flake? I think you would find that extremely difficult to make it turn out good

I think it's like $80/qt, not positive. Same company paint as we used on the IROC so it should be roughly around that are

 

Two stage paint is painting the color first, then laying the clear on later. If you got single stage, the clear is mixed in with the paint and shot all at once. I would personally prefer a 2 stage also.

 

not that i thought that stuff needed 2 be repainted anyway...but, as always...LOOKIN' GOOD!!!!!!

 

Little late on this post but i knwo what it feels like to wait on a cat as well. From October of 2005 to July 2006. Took a lot of work but now i get to frive it and it feels good. Great color on the camaros. I would love a trans am that color. Just dont have any extra money to go out and buy one. This is my car fresh out of paint.

 

Yeah.... that really is a sweet shade of blue!

 

Looks nice and all, but i never understood why people try and interchange z28s and rs's.. looks to me like its a z28.. but yet you have the rs aero style spoiler and side skirts...

 

His car is a Z28 and he didn't change anything on it to make it look like it isn't. The 91-92 verts don't come with the high rise spoilers, they come with a modified "RS" spoiler (the piece on the deck lid has the 3rd brake light like the pre 90 cars have and the sides go down the side of the car to the door). What about the side skirts changed between the RS and Z28 models?

 

love the car and the color. did you paint the air dam on pourpose?

 

that shade of blue is gorgous.

props she looks excellent!
brandon

 

Crap, I totally missed the definition of single stage then, this is 2 stage paint...sorry for the confusion

 

ALL '91 and '92 Camaros have the ground effects. All Z28's have the high rise spoiler EXCEPT convertibles. I own a real Z28, I assure you

 

The air dam isn't painted...In the first few pictures it looks that way because the car hadn't been washed yet and still had dust from being in the paint booth

 

Looks real nice! Every time I see your car it makes me want to go out and buy a vert... Great work.

 

Car looks very nice, like everyone has said, that shade of blue looks awesome. Im am looking to have my front end repainted also due to some rock chips etc.. How much did this set you back anyway?

 

very nice job, you have such a stand-out vert because of that color alone....now we just gotta meet up and take pics

 

looks very good! just picked up the new camaro performers and saw your car, lookin good! whats next for the blu vert?

 

This kid is just going thread to thread running his mouth and obviously doesn't know much about these cars. He's giving TPI383 about his car and here he is again??????

Anyway.....this is one of the nicest colors I've seen in a while and your car looks great...

 

i'm workin' on getting a $500 daily driver actually....i've been using BLU ZEE as my daily since 2001


Justin: that would be awesome. get yer butt down here

Quick6: $850 altogether

 

you know, if I didnt have classes starting, and moving in a week I'd totally head down there....we should set something up next summer

 

Sounds good to me
It's too bad you can't go to the Fbody Reunion in Bowling Green, KY. It's in 2 weeks!

 

yea, my car will be hibernating by then, and Ill be a mile deep into MCAT study guides

 

ultra blue metallic rules

 

Easy color to paint too
