Nice Finish. The stripe adds a nice touch to it.

Re: I HAVE NEW PAINT w/pics

Did you take all the GFX off and the bumper covers? That pinstripe along the main stripe really makes it look good.

Re: I HAVE NEW PAINT w/pics

he is trying to keep it down to 2200 but no more than 2500. as you can see, from this post or my start to finish post on camaro appearance thread, it's actually worth a lot more. he took his time and did outstanding body/prep work.

by the way, i have posted these and other pics in a different thread. but i haven't mentioned in here that the paint is ppg wild fire red and jet black. i now get the priveledge of ordering a new headliner,carpet,door panels, upper door plastic window seal, front and rear sway bars and new emblems. i have some stainless steel one but i don't think they are going to work. all in all, another 1200.00 i think i am getting too much money involved.....O well.
