after many months of trying to figure out what color i wanted the car First choice was hugger orange then it went to black then thought about mulitple different color scheme involving 2 colors. But i ended where i started with the hugger orange. so 2 weeks ago i ordered the paint. finished up the odds and ends in body work and cleaned out the garage and hung better lights so i could see. and yesterday we started getting it Primed up and ready for paint. more pics can be seen here

Looks good! Im diggin the goodyears on the back

 

solid job, good work!

 

here's an update

 

It's looking good so far! We gonna see a couple of white stripes? Black would be cool.

 

Black Rally Stripes are the plan finished up the nose tonight. waiting for my painter to come back and finish painting the rest of the car..

 

NOt sure who's car's these are but they are my background on my pc and the insperation for my car the differences will be the hoods of course and the wheels. and rear hatch. I will have the stock rear hatch , a goodmark 4 inch cowl hood , and pro star wheels , my interior will be Black and gray. with black rally strips on the hood and decklid.

 

It's going to look great!

Do you have the stock black and grey interior? An all black interior with black seats with a matching orange insert would really make the interior. Check these out;

Follow the prompts, and use a black shell with orange insert.

 

the car had red interior before so i bought gray seats out of a 92 in good shape and then replaced all the pastics with black and put black carpet in ..

 

well the plan was to jam the car tonight but have you ever gotton carried away. instead of my painter doing it i did it instead HMMM some orange peal and also a few runs mainly on the one fender i had to repaint. finally got the gun close to correct. here's the results also a few bugs decided to check the paint out also .

Hugger orange is such a great color for these cars. If I ever buy another third gen camaro its going to be painted hugger orange w/ white stripes.

 

Great color choice! Love that you painted the headlight buckets black.

 

Here is the progress the car is getting there so far wet sanding still. and buffing with fine cut compound and glaze. went to summit today I picked up the lakewood bellhousing a 11 inch zoom clutch and competition Engineered subframe connectors (weld in)on the way home my son told me he got his tires fixed so i could get my front prostars back after 3 months thinking tomorrow i will get teh trans back in and take a break from sanding and buffing ..

 

Took a break from paint and wetsanding and buffing for a day. heres what i got done and yes i know who ever has had this car for the first 22 years of its life. they were not nice to the frame rails. it had been high sided at one point. that crushed the passenger rocker .

 

 

What kind of paint did you use to paint your headlight buckets? I'm debating on what I should use

 

I used rustolium primer then used satin black

 

Did you use primer in a rattle can, or spray it from a gun?

 

Great job! But I was wondering if you are affiliated with the mob? Seen a body in the trunk of the car in front of the camaro. Dont need any evidence like that floating around.

 

LOL no my son was wiring up his subs LOL

 

after it was primed and painted orange from the gun i sanded it with 400 to scuff it up then primed over the orange with rattle can then hit that with 2000 then rattled it again in satin black
