Decided to finally send my car off to get some new paint. The paint that I had was in pretty good shape but I didn't like the fact that I couldn't get it to shine. So after debating on which way to go (motor or paint) I decided to get the car repainted. I'm looking into going with LeMans Blue off the 07 Corvette. I dropped off the car in February and I hope to pick it up in about 2 weeks. Here are some before, during and (coming soon) after pics. Let me know what you guys think.

Some pictures as of today:

 

Sweet.

What color are you going with? Why is the metal around the windshield also masked off? Painting it a different color?

 

Going with LeMans Blue or Luxo Blue (for some reason they have the same pait code). As for the glass area, I hadn't noticed it was masked off Its actually going to be the same color as the rest of the car. I honestly can't wait to get my car back and throw my wheels on and take it out to some local shows. I'll keep you guys posted as I get more pics.

 

darn, i thought it didn't look all that bad before....motor mods might have been good. i am looking forward to seeing it painted, i have been thinking about getting another one and have it be blue.. great looking car.

 

Damn man, you must have some money to burn because the paint job in the pictures above looks damn nice as is.

I like your choice of the new color.

 

I would agree with the other comments that your paint didn't look too bad before. The new paint is a great choice and I'm looking forward to seeing the final results.

The place that you dropped the car off to be painted...is that a friend of yours? Just curious because that looks like a small shop or a house?

 

LOL!!! I wish I had extra money to burn . I bought my wife a ring for christmas with the understanding that my gift would be a paint job for my car once I sold a house that I had on the market. So in realty, it was a very expensive paint job

The paint wasn't too bad except for the front spoiler. I just didn't like the fact that it was very dull and had no shine to it. As for the shop, its actually a friend's shop. He's got a paint booth set up on his property and does some great workl. He does mainly insurance work, but will take older cars every now and then. Here's a pic of his 72 Chevy Shortbed, this thing is like a mirror.

 

Quick update for the week

 

A couple of pics that I snapped yesterday. Fenders, bumpers, side skirts should be getting some paint today. I'll post some pics as I'm able to get them.

 

Some more pics from today.

 

Looking good!! Wating on finished pics.

 

Nice!! You can't beat that color on a camaro.

 

how much is this costing you.... i am wondering about the same same thing and so far ur paint looks awsome..

 

New pic from Friday. Body was painted on Thursday. I'll post some pics once the fenders, bumpers and hatch go back on.

 

beautiful!

 

sexyyy

 

SWEET

 

IT'S BACK!!!! Well, after a few months of anxiously waiting, I finally got my car back yesterday. I quickly got home and threw on my wheels so that I could snap some pics and get a good look as to how the final product was going to look like. I'm very happy with the final results. I ended up going with Daytona Blue Pearl Metallic as the color. During the process I decided to ditch the door moulding and give it that clean look. I still need to get some new Z28 emblems and a new Camaro emblem. I also need to throw on some new tint and weatherstripping. Still have lots of work to do, but at least I'm able to see the car on a daily basis Enjoy the pics and let me know what you guys think. **pics were taken with my Iphone, so quality isn't the greatest.

 

 

Wow!! Super nice! Love the color.

They are the Deep Dish Y2Ks from OEWheels. 17x9.5 up front and 18x10.5 for the rears. Alot of guys over on LS1Tech are using them. Haven't seen to many 3rd gens with them.
