SO I used to own a Camaro. Some of you may recognize me from Thirdgen.org or this board though I tend to be away doing other things these days.
But I always wanted a Sunset metallic color car, ever since I first saw one in person. I HAD to have it. Its been 5 years but I finally decided to paint my current car Sunset metallic... and I had a layer of gold "pearl" between the base and the clear coat to boot.

And of course, I just had to run to the camaro boards days after it was done to show it off!!!

And here it is!!

 

That is a great looking car, and a great color. Ive always had a thing for 240s...Is that an S14 with a silvia conversion? I dont know them like i know my camaros, but i bet its a fun car!

This will get locked just so you know as its not really third gen related at all.

 

Well thats silly all it is is pictures of a car w/ paint its not like its a technical post or anything.

Someone looking to do this color to their thirdgen should know what it can look like, right? I mean its a GM color.

 

not a big fan of the front end, but at least you stuck with RWD. yeah it will get locked btw

 

That color is freaking awesome. What paint code is the pearl base coat?

 

I like 240's but would rather have my camaro I love that color

 

nice color, i see some nice cars where is that got the supras skylines which you have to import etc etc. nice though.

 

Well I have a body guy I use to paint all my cars, I basically told him I wanted the GM Sunset metallic paint code for a base coat, followed by a light golden pearl, then the clear.

What REALLY brought the color out was the final wetsand and buff job. The paint was nice, but not very glossy or color changing until after the wet-sand buff job. I have a guy that goes over the car with 2000 then 2500grit sand paper, wet, and a razorblade, to make the clear perfectly flat, then buffs it. The process takes about 6 hours usually 2x 3 hour sessions with the car he spends, but the result is what you see there. If you want the paint code or whatever, email me, ill find out the exact number from my paint guy. Kingtal0n -at- aol.com

And in case anyone is wondering...

28PSI

 

Dude, sweet Kouki! My cousin also has a Kouki with a built KA-T pushing over 500HP. That was the only car that ever scared me shitless.


Good Luck with it!


Oh, And Im loving that R32 Skyline in the background! <3

 

Sure it is! That sunset metallic is VERY thirdgen related. Awesome color. But my advice is to sell the Nissan and buy another Camaro.

 

I like that alot. I see alot of those at drift meets I go to, but that's alot better looking than some I've seen. Is it an SR or a KA-T? Maybe you kill tires with it?

 

28psi

Decent car I guess.

 

yeah Its an SR20 I threw together.
It does this at 18-20PSI


thats on pump gas.

Ah, I am looking to a buy another camaro eventually, or at the very least put a small block into a 240sx to make some power. It would be nice to see 300+Ft.Lbs of torque below 2000RPM again, however useless it is to have, its still fun to drive as if having 600Horsepower is usefull anyways right?

 

Hah nice numbers. Not my type of car but definatly would be fun as hell to drive. Good work but get a 3rdgen

 

Nice!!
Bunch of Supras and Skylines in the background...Nice...

 

i love the car hate body kits tho , but love it , i would never trade the camaro in for a dialy driver as mine is , but i wouldnt mind a ***** for the side i dont hate them but dont like them , the only cars i like are mitsubishi eclipse converts i dont know what it is but its so sexy a guy around my town as a turboed one i dont know its specs but it makes me giddy every time i see him , we did a donut together one day out of random , i was in a work truck tho not my camaro heh

 

You dont like imports yet you like an eclipse convertable? Out of all the imports you like a eclipse convertable...lol. By the way your 89 camaro came with a body kit from the factory. Isant that body kit on the car from a silvia? Factory body kit...

 

what body kit? GM offically calls them "Lower Side Valances"

 

and the front and rear? "Front Valance" "Rear Valance" ?

 

yep.. that or bumper cover.




sorry had to.

 

nice paint man but its no third gen j/k i love all cars if there done right nice job.

 

Yeah the next car I do im going to paint the new Z06 orange color, I dont know what its called yet but I must have it next!!!!

 

atomic orange.

 

I'm sorry, you got rid of your Camaro for that? Wow...

 

I've always liked that sunset orange metallic paint. and while not an F-body damn nice car. I love how you start making power just as my TPI finishes.

 

looks sweet.

 

oh my god its an import how could he?!?!
