Who likes?!
The bottom picture came out a little dark. On both of these pics it really looks better on film and not on the screen, but you can get the idea

That paint is at least 4 or 5 years old. A couple weeks ago I put 3 coats of Meguires Gold Class wax on it, but it's always been shiney like that
Thanks for the compliment

It's not. He needs to show you that pic where his car actually blends into the background literally.

I have a couple 35mm pics I took with a Star-Six filter that gives it those stars on the shiny parts. Everyone swears they're PhotoShopped until I show them the negatives. Zaino is good stuff! I'll scan 'em sometime and post them sometime.

Damn it, I typed a huge reply and I sent it and it said I included too many smilies! Pisses me off. Anyway, thanks for all the compliments!! Let me go back and reply to all of your replies again now!
#1: I put the pic Mark is talking about up here again. Look at the bottom of this post.
#2: Yeah dogg, my car be bling blingin' when i be pimpin' it through da souf side of town
#3: Camaro Sunday on April 28th? Cool, I'll probably be there. My sister is moving into her house today in Warner Robins where you are so maybe I can follow you there or something. Oh yeah, do you know where Willis Creek Road is? And I dont know if my car is shinier than yours or not. My car is shiney and reflective but your car seems to give off a really sharp clear reflection. I guess we can compare them on the 28th, but that wouldn't be fair cause you'll have new paint by then!!
#4: Did I photoshop the pics? No. did I use a star filter? Who knows!!
#5: What in the hell does choppin' mean? Is that a new dance?
#6: What steps do I use? I just keep it clean. I wash it 2 times a week usually and once a month I spend alot of time on it washing it and just making sure that the whole car is as clean as it can be. You wont find ANY dirt in my wheel wells!! It's getting kinda obsessive. I got the car two years ago to the day and since then I've only waxed it one ime, about a month ago. I used Meguires Gold Class. I want to use Zaino but it cost too much for me right now. I think next time I'll use Zymbol wax and maybe I'll even use a claybar.

Alright, I guess that does it. Thanks again for all the compliments. Keep em comin!!

Look down here for that other pic of my car blending into the environment!

I've heard of willis creek road, but I don't have a clue where it is. I live off moody road, once she's down here, she'll know moody road and russel blv. like the back of her hand. It's the only two big roads. I might not have my car at camaro sunday.... it goes back to the paint shop soon, and they aren't the quickest.

It's when the light bounces off chrome wheels as they turn. I guess it didn't catch on like "bling bling" did. i've only heard one person say it. I was just giving you a hard time about the stars. That pic turned out really nice.

Maybe the best driveway in your town, but certainly not in mine! Looks good Bro! :hail: Glad to finally see some pics of your ride. How about posting some pics of the little lady you have in the background(Red Firebird)

Well, she's got 14 year old waterbourne paint and the interior is kinda faded in places and she needs a good tune up and exhaust system but other than that I guess you're about right. But whenever I make enough money to do all of this I'm going all out with a FULL paintjob. I'm going to paint everything red that was painted red by Pontiac, so it should look real nice! I hope I can do it like that anyway. I want it to be my 3rd gen showcar!!
