Those aren't stickers. Everything you see is painted on. My friend did the body work and paint in one day. I couldn't believe it. Very satisfied. Gotta be dice'n.

I'm not one much for silly graphics on the sides of a car...
But I think that looks pretty good.

Interesting color, not one that I would keep personally, but DOES look nice... As for the graphics... not a fan, but the ones are the side do give some character. I think the hood graphics are overkill tho... But still a nice piece...

Re: NEW PAINT!! (Its about time) Lots of pictures inside
Before the paint I got in an accident and the rear driver side had two huge dents. Also when I got it, the back was all chipping. The lower part of the bumper had a one foot by 4 inch section that you could pull the paint of and the same for the top of the rear bumper. The driver side also had spots painted over it with yellow that didn't match from the previous owner. So my friend took the car to his shop and did the body work and paint and charged me only for the paint supplies. I was ecstatic he even took it. I guess nobody likes graphics on here, as does most people. Most people like one solid color from what I can tell. But I really like it. The squares on the side and hood fade in and fade out if you move closer and away from it. Really neat. Maybe there is one person on here that likes it.

Re: NEW PAINT!! (Its about time) Lots of pictures inside
If you like it I love it...IMHO Camaro's should have Heritage stripes, IROC decals, ghost flames or nothing at all...I do love the color, it is something different...I would of went more in this direction...
or this...
or maybe like this...
or in my wildest yellow imagination...

Re: NEW PAINT!! (Its about time) Lots of pictures inside
I don't mind the ones on the side but ill agree with most that the hood is a little over the top. Personally I would hit the headlight buckets with some black paint too. Car looks a lot better, like everyone else says, as long as you like it. Congrats.

Re: NEW PAINT!! (Its about time) Lots of pictures inside
What was wrong with the plain yellow IROC that 86NiteRider posted? These are some of the very few cars that don't look horrid with yellow. Now, the canary/cream yellow below that looked horrid.

Re: NEW PAINT!! (Its about time) Lots of pictures inside
I'm gonna go out on a limb here... I totally dig those stickers.... very 80's. They'll make the car unique without being completely outlandish.

Thanks for the comments. I knew there would be people that could say they like it even if somebody had to go out on a limb for it.

The paint job looks nice, but the graphics killed it.

Re: NEW PAINT!! (Its about time) Lots of pictures inside
Thanks 8T9 BANDIT for the compliment. Its funny you that you said you liked the steering wheel because just yesterday my brother asked me if anybody said anything about the steering. Now I can tell him somebody said they liked. I was pretty siked to get it on because my original was leaving black marks on my hand every time I drove and black stuff was oozing from certain spots pretty gross. I haven't even seen it on anybody's car it's that new. Thanks again for the compliment. Now for the mods, you can look at my Vb garage. Not to much but then again I don't want to do to much because the motor has over a hundred thousand miles and its just a Three O' five. One day when I get my dream 383 from jegs then I can tell you I have a good motor. This weekend i will be putting some KYB shocks and struts on though and drum brake drum rebuild kits. Other than that I just try to keep it clean and running good. Thanks again for the compliment.

Alright another person who likes fuzzy dice. Thanx for backing me up. Thats what happens when I hang around to many 1950-60's cars every week.
