Ok, just thought I'd post this picture of my Camaro. The one shown is actually before I sanded the high build primer. Currently I now have the high build sanded, and I will probably start painting it next week. All the other parts have been now primed (bumpers, GFX, spoiler, etc. etc. ) It'll be done in the original black, but I'll be adding gold stripes. though I'm still pondering between heritage stripes. or a custom modification of those. Thus far I have taken 60 pictures of the whole progress. When it is completely done I'll be posting a page for those who will want to check it out.

 

Here is a picture of one modified stripe I was thinking of.. But I don't know yet...

 

looks good man I think you should go with your stripe idea too

 

Looking good, I like the stripe but dont much care for the color but that is up to your prefrences man.

 

I really like the stripe design, but if it was my car i prolly wouldn't use yellow.

My uncle has a mint 78k 86 z28 with the black paint/gold gfx and it looks awesome. I would go that route.

Did you just feel like repainting it or did it need repainted/rust/dings?

Progress looks sweet

The stripe actually would not be yellow.. the color I have picked out is more like a bright 24 k gold.. it looks really nice. The paint was getting pretty chipped, and there was some dents to fix.. for going in local car shows it needed some work. At the current stage and time frame left.. I think I'll have to stay with regular heritage stripes.. I gotta try and get it on the road byt the end of next week. could be hard though...

 

Ok here is a shot of the car in the spray booth. This is the first time I have ever masked and painted a car. But I think I did quite well. More pictures will follow once I get it all back together. This is Picture #84 of the whole process I've done on my car. I made the pin stripe around the main one an 1/8th inch wide. Looks really good. I used BASF as my paint system. Stripes are code MY052.20

 

:yourock:

 

AWESOME JOB!

I think it looks really good, I hope when i get mine painted it looks that nice.

 

looks great

 

sweeeaaaat!

 

nice, just get it all back together and hit us up with some pics.

wow dude!
that paint scheme looks bad ***! im gonna try that when i paint my hood jeepers, it looks like you spanned the length of the car? thatll be sweet, wow you turned me on to a new idea, thanks!

 

so what did you do, rent a spraybooth?

 

I almost have it back together.. I should have a gallery of pictures ready by the weekend. I did my car at school. 1st year Autobody repair & refinishing at the local college. I didn't want the Camaro to be my first car.. but it just ended up being that way.. Over the next while I'll be doing some spot touch ups, and polishing. But over all it did turn out good. The stripes are only on the hood and rear deck lid/spoiler. What you see to the left around the roof is actually the spoiler in the corner of the booth.

 

Sweet paint/bodywork man.Thats so cool u have autobody class at your school.When i was in high school that did not have any of that.I messed up a ton of cars.If we had class i might have had some cool cars but o well.

 

Not high school. It's a University College. None of the High schools here actually have a body shop class either.

 

I see thats were i took it to but when i started working in a shop.What the teacher taught me was all wrong.For how body work is done in the shops .But i did learn some stuff.

 

Take your time to buff out the orange peel look in the clear coat. It could look like a black mirror
