heres another pic for an idea

yellow and black go good together. we did that on the game. only it was black base and yelow design, looked nice but kinda made me think of a cop car........ i dont know it just did lol lol so we thought na lol

 

hahaha, keep us posted on your selection though. Good luck

 

thanks, ya i'll post pics probably every weekend on the progress. hopefully it wont take more then a month.

 

that was great! and this is a great thread since im looking to paint my car also.

 

Im thinking Black, charcoal Gray, or gunmetal gray

 

r they hiring at your job? cuz i need cash like you to do my mods.

 

ya but the position there hiring for is only 12.50$ it would take a while at that rate. be like me and just become a jigaloe lol i'm short, pale, and pudgy woman..................... can't get enough of it lol lol lol

 

"IT HAS BEGUN" ... hopefully it dont end a fatality lol ok were going with the original plan. he's also going to airbrush on the z28 on the two front qtr's and a big one across the rear bumper but he's going to airbrush them to look like the graphics we're going with. he's only found one spot of rust on the whole car about 2 1/2 inches long. now i gotta get over there this weekend and get that motor out. i'll post pics of the progress. i'm like a kid in a candy store dont pass judgment on the colors yet just wait and see........... then tell me "it's gay... you're gay... die" lol lol dont tell my wife its a secret lol

 

My race car was Hugger Orange I have people look at the car and ignor the motor. I loved the color and in 110 degree sun shine it was cool to the touch. I like when car owners do what they want to thier cars. A clean car looks good any color. You will be awsome. I also like the gun metal gray or silver on the orange too. It will look better with new paintregardless. That is why I own many cars, drive what you want or feel like at that time. Hence Freedom

 

amen brother, life is short and i just want to have a little fun before i have to answer to the big guy upstairs for holding my little brother down and shaving a smiley face in his hair when he was 10.....

 

Lmao

 

That masking job looks pretty gay

 

no thats just the dust, no paint yet. and ya i crack me up sometimes lol

 

Congrats man, I'm glad you're doing what you want to do to your car. Your wife sounds pretty rad too if she's behind all this!

 

I didnt like the idea when I saw it on the video game. But when I saw it chopped onto a camaro, it looked 100 times better.

I think the fact that you show that paint scheme on a rice car origionally, makes it look more like a rice paint job.

But if you think about it, where did the tuner scene steal alot of its ideas from? Old muscle cars.

 

ya they did get a lot of idea's from the old big scoop fat wheel mucsles. i think it's going to turn out ok. after seeing the photoshopped picture, i'm a little more confident in the decision. the guy painting the car has some more ideas that we will be including to so the final result should kick butt. i'm a little stressed about pulling that engine this weekend thoa, i'm not exactly a gear head but i want that engine be to shine pluse i want to put on the rpm intake i have and change the head gaskits as the are leaking insanly bad. i'm sure i'll mess something up..... is it possible to put the motor in backwards?

 

I liked the photo shop the Brandotron did on the first page. Then it struck me....use the same paint scheme on the hood stripes as the side of the car. Mix the hard edge of the traditional stripes with the toren edge of the side graffic. Just a thought to tie it all together and something different.

 

.

 

cant be put in backwards! buy a chilton or haynes manual and follow the directions and you should be fine.

 

subscribed. that paint is way out there when it comes to camaros, i say go for it

 

ya we are going to do the stripes on the hood the same as the sides i was going to wait to mention it till i had the pics on that one thanks...... you took my glory lol lol also going to airbrush the z28 in the same theme and the engine bay is going to have accents that look like the side of the car it's going to be one cool looking car..... i hope and i'm not sure if the chilton or hayes will help me with that motor being a 403 in a camaro.

ok question, what does anyone think would look better for the carb bonnet that will stick out of the hood, chrome or black? i have to use one as the motor is way to high to fit under the hood. and i just dont like the cowl hood look to cover it up.

2nd question, black or chrome rims? i know black and burnt orange rims were mentioned earlier in the thread.... little to expensive right now. i'm having a hard time picturing the black vs chrome with that paint job. i have a set of really nice chrome rims at a buddies house but i cant get them yet. there skinnies up front and fatties in the rear. i think the brand is "american racing" but i can pick up a set of black rims for about 400$ on ebay... for another 300$ they will throw in a kidney .... ebay rocks lol lol

 

Black rims for show & shine, Chrome rims for racing or clocking the car. As for the bonnet I say black, what does the bonnet look like cause you clould put your cars color on it to accent it. How much if you sell the kidney...hahaha

 

Karl's-92'-z28 you sold that car to crazyhawiian? I love that car! Why would you ever sell it? lol

 

I personally like the American Racing Torq-Thrust M's... I think they look pretty cool if u get the black centers with the silver outside like these here

I sold it to my friend, then he sold it. I had a ew other projects, but I don'e regret it, now I have 3 more 92 z28's & doing a new project. I built so many different cars its a hobby for me.

 

were did you find this?do you have anymore pics of this car? im painting mine exactly the same.

 

crapy weekend, got to much snow today now i cant go over there... grrrr

 

I saw this paint job at a car show yesterday and I thought about this thread...so here you are: Myself I wouldn't do that!

 

i like the orange and white if the white was a solid color and ran with the cars lines alittle more but the silver flames are hideous imo , i like the yellow car better.

 

i think you should paint it orange with black stripes and as for the graphic on the side paint in a ghost graphic it would be kinda cool


as for that 10 min photoshop that guy did i think it looks kinda cool

 

liked the yellow one, thats sharp. did'nt care for the other one. i hope mine looks better then that anyone know what kinda rims those were? or anyone have a set they want to sell those rims are awesome, money is no object............. as long as it's within my bugdet lol which would be like .. 400$ which probably would'nt get me close to those rims

 

if your talking bout the yellow w/ black stripe over the hood and roof those black wheels are about 50 a piece at pep boys.

 

i like solid orange alot here are a few pics of an 84 i built about 10 years ago

and its in trailer park for the white trash award !

 

I think the ROH Snypers look best on a camaro:

 

"deadman" nice car. 50$ a piece at pep boys for those rims i'm on it. those are sharp. and those snypers are pretty sweet as well.

 

Those $50 wheels are just steelies. Like the kind you find on most cars under the hubcaps. Those are just painted gloss black, and pinstriped.

They do look good on the right color car, though

 

if you look really close you will see that those are american racing wheels like you would find on a nascar or stock car.

 

 

i dont think you can put hub caps on those....... but yes thats what i was talking about also.

 

Why not go with red on black? give it that evil look and also there's a guy on here with a white camaro who put kinda like a red led in his headlights so they light up red...it looks really cool. And to stand out more you could put red neons on the bottom. I think that would look sweet

 

just some progress on the car. looks like the drivers side door was repaired once bondo looks like it all finished. i'm going over there this weekend to work on it some.

 

this car should have been done already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your just pissing around to much....lol

 

well i told him not to worry about getting it done to fast. i'm in no hurry right now. i have a lot to do as far as the engine and trans before summer anyway. he's working on mine and someone els's car right now. so he's kinda spliting his time. probably a couple/few more weeks. hey kinda off topic but when i pulled the heads this weekend there was sludge in the vally and stuck to the tappit covers. is that because the radiator fluid mixed with the oil? anyone have an idea. and should be do anything when i put it back together to prevent any damage? i'm going to change the oil as well. anyway pics coming soon.

 

what you guys think of my blue bird?

 

eney progress on the paint?

 

i was over there this weekend. swapped the intake and changed the head gaskets. he has the body work like 90% done so i took a couple picks i'll post monday. i think he'll be applying primer by this weekend. i'll post picks and stuff.

 

just a quick update for anyone interested <- (thats funny) lol anyway,car is still as it was in the last pics i posted. i took some more of my wife and i working on the engine last weekend but nothing new on the body right now. the motor is running great, just screams with the new parts. and my wife was all about getting in there and getting greasy with me .... she rocks lol i'll post that pic soon, nothing better then seeing a woman wrench on a car lol lol. the painter is working on another project thats he's just about wrapped up. he stretched a jeep 3ft in length.... it's actually pretty cool looking. he added a window and everything. this guy is amazing with fiberglass. i'll post pics of the jeep when he's finished. and a little plug for him, if anyone needs spoilers repaired/glassed he can do em. fix the cracks or reconstruct broken off sections. he's fixing my driverside which is missing like half of it lol. i can give anyone his number if needed. anyway this week i think he's focusing on my car. i'll post as progress gets going.
