Updated Today-Camaro Painted!!
Here is a slideshow that shows some nice side shots and a few shots of the car outside, finally.
The hood was put on this evening, and I didn't have my camera. I'll post some pics of the car polished and cleaned very soon.
I love the color.

Re: Updated Today-Camaro Painted!!
It is now GMC Red Jewel Tintcoat....it is a metallic red, but you can't see the metallic flake in it in certain light....the sun has to be directly on it, and you have to be close to it to see it. I love it. I saw it on a GMC Acadia.
I live in Arizona in the desert.
I have dirt in my front yard and a fenced back yard also with dirt.
Lots of dirt down here.

Re: Updated Today-Camaro Painted!!
Well, I paid $1800.00, and that included the body work that I needed done and the paintjob. This did not include the labor for my front clip, nor did it include the parts I had to buy, in order for the front clip to be put back on my car cuz of the collision, nor did it include my hood, which I bought from a guy near where I live.
It depends upon how much body work you need done and what kind of paint job you want and what shop you go to.
A guy can spend $10,000 or more on his paintjob, depending upon what kind of paint he wants and what all he does to his car.
Mine was a basic "get rid of the cancer on the body and paint the thing" job.
The paint did turn out pretty nice, though. I can't really complain, for what I paid.
Are you in Arizona?

Re: Updated Today-Camaro Painted!!
no im in louisville...
im want to do the same thing...get rid of the D*** rust and put a good paint job on it...nothing custom or fancy...just a little darker than factory red and a black bird on the hood...
i have the normal rust in the rear quarters, floor pans, spare tire bay...i was thinking it was gonna cost $4-5k for mine...if thats the case then im gonna get me a 91-92 5.0 in really good shape
