well guys thats all i have time to put on here for now but ill get some more after we wet sand it with 1500 and then buff it, so tell me what you think!

 

Looks great. Im going to be painting mine the same color.

 

Must feel good to get it repainted. Did you have to do any body work? I've always liked the white camaros.

 

oo yea alot of body work was done on this car to get it as straight as i wanted it, to put it in perspective the only parts that dont have any filler on them are the hatch and the fenders, the whole top, driver door, and hood have a whole coat of filler on them so yes there was a "little" body work. I think it all paid off though, its getting wet sanded tommorow so more pic are to come.

 

did you paint your car, doors, and hatch at the same time?

 

Looks good. How many coats did you end up using?

 

Lookin' good so far....your girl(if she's yours) looks a bit frustrated though. As they sometimes are when working on your car.

 

yes i did paint the doors hatch and the fender, the only things i didnt paint were the ground effects mirrors and front and back bumpers because i dont want them laying around getting chipped up so ill paint them when im for sure ill put them on. O and i put one got of Adhesion Promoter, One good coat of sealer, then i sprayed 5 coats of base but after the first coat i hit it with 1000, and then 4 coats of clear. The paint i used was DuPont ChromaSystem adhesion promoter and sealer, and then Nason base and clear.

 

and yes my girlfriend was slightly frustrated with me, she says i pay more attention to my car then i do her, woops!

 

Car looks like its coming along nicely. Your g/f has the same expression my wife sometimes gives me when I'm in the garage all weekend.

 

i know you guys love pictures so have at it thats about all i got until later today gota get to wet sanding!

 

just a couple more

 

yea dont you just love that stance she has, classic aint it.

 

that looks good, what kind of paint did you use? I've got a white '85 that was repainted with horrible paint before I got it so I'm planning to strip and repaint it one of these days

 

yay my wife says the same thing. i just give her the***** and she leaves me alone while she is smiling. that looks good. actually she will come out and help me do stuff on my camaro.

 

LOOKIN FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!

 

i used dupont URO primer on most of the car but we ran out to i used Nason SelectPrime 2k on the rest, for the base i used also used nason i think its called SelectBase?? not sure though ill have to look, for the clear i used Nason SelectClear2K, i also sealed it and put some adhesion promoter on it and it was Dupont's ChromaSystem. My girlfriend comes out there and watches me work on it but thats about it, she doesnt usually talk to much so its all good THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS GUYS!!!

 

The car looks really straight. I assume you blocked it out by hand? You layed the clear on nicely. Time for color sanding,buffing and polishing. That should only take a couple hours!!! HaHa. Looks great and good luck.Keep the pics coming.

 

looks great

 

well today i got most of the color sanding done and yes i blocked the car out by hand, i couldnt be happier with the way it came out, the only thing i wish i would of had is more activator, i only had enough for 3 full coats of clear, so i got to be carefull, more pics on the way.

 

Stock white? I got a white vert that I'm about to paint too. Can't wait!

 

3 full coats of clear will be plenty safe. Tape the edges off while you sand and buff to be safe. buff the panels out then pull the tape and finish buffing. No burnt edges!!! That car is going to be nice. You either have some painting experience or you did a great job of researching. I especially like how you hung the doors over the rack. Brilliant!

 

looks very nice. can't wait to see the finished product. any graphics in the future?

 

yes that is the factory white color, if you need the codes i have them. Thanks for the hints on buffing i have a good buffer and all the compound to do it and a little expierience but i mite have to try putin some tape on it for a little assurance, as for graphics or anything that might go on the car im debating on whether or not i want to put the factory red IROC-Z back on the door or put a black hockey stripe on it like Sinister's car. the car has a red interior soo gimme some input on what yall think. By the way as for expierience im 19.

 

Looks great so far! When you get that beast on the road you to give me an address so I can look at it. I'm like 20 minutes away.

 

FINALLY some in my area with a third gen. O and when i said i was 19 i wasnt saying i havent ever worked on a car, this is my dads car that me and him built.

 

Looks awesome man! I can only dream of when mine heads to the paint booth!

 

mine wasnt even painted in a paint booth!!!

 

alrite well here is a quick update, i just got done doing the rest of the color sanding on the car and i have to go to school at 3 o'clock and hten i will come home and buff it, more pictures tonight my friends!@!!!!!!!

 

sorry its been a while but heres an update, you can probably tell what ive been busy with, 2 cars to work on now!

 

Very nice!!

 

Very nice work .. I would put the iroc decals back on

 

i probably am going to put the IROC-Z back on the door. I'll make that decision and whether or not to black out the headlight buckets whenever its all back together.

 

Looking real good!! Nice job.

There was one locally that is white with the black/yellow stripe for sale. It had a few problems, but could be fixed.

I also saw another one locally that is in real good condition.


If it wasnt a Iroc, I would vote to leave it solid with black buckets.
But I have always liked the stock look of a white Iroc. The lower stripes and Iroc decal just sets it off.

 

we will just have to see whenever i get it all together, my car had silver and red stripes on it, and i dont really know if they were just rare or if there aftermarket.

 

Looks awesome man.

 

Just an FYI, a baby kitten gets ran over by a semi truck every time someone repaints Camaro and doesn't paint the headlight buckets black. It's true!

 

depending on the wheels, i think red iroc z decals would look great. i think the whole hockey stripe has been done enough. maybe do something that hasn't been done. that's i went with my stripe set up. something new.

 

Car is looking good. Are you bringing the 55 to Central City this weekend. Pretty good cruise tonight and car show tomorrow. Maybe 100 cars. I'll be there if no rain.

 

lol.. uhm yeah ok!

 

Good work... Car is look great..............

Go back with the Iroc-Z on the doors and all ~ !

 

....What a fantastic job you did on painting the car!!

Blacked out headlight buckets compliment the look on painted white cars IMHO.

 

pure sexy! i can only dream of the day i get to take mine all apart and redo it...

 

As you know my dad was there, but i was on the way to Kansas all day friday to get some cars with my uncle.

As for the headlight buckets, stripes, and IROC-Z decals i think im going to just get the car all together and just go from there, i can always pull the front bumper off and paint the bucket, or just stick the decals on the doors, but we will just have to see which way I want it.

 

Yeap, At the end of the day, Its always your car.

Everyone has different ideas and taste, so do what YOU like.

Get it all together, then if it seems like it is missing something, you can add it.

 

and ill keep going until I think it looks the way i want it. But if the Iroc-Z goes on the door i think i would feel like it was missing something, which would be the black headlight buckets. Whats the DuPont paint code for the black used in the buckets and underneath the louvers???

 

car looks amazing.. i can't wait to see it come together.

 

looking good!

 

Looks good! Make sure you've got some extra hands puttin her back together.

 

That's coming out great.
