Re: LOOKIN AT FINALY PAINTING MY CAMARO

Nice! I like your hood. Should look good with a nice paint job. I ran around in mine for about 5-6 years in red rattle can primer before I finally bit the bullet and painted it. I was considering Chrysler Sebring silver metallic, but decided on Dupont pepper metallic gray at the last minute! Here's how it turned out:

Satin silver would look cool with satin torque thrusts.

Thanks mac!
It wasn't nearly as cheap as I'd hoped, but nothing on this car is. I got it painted last year and it cost 4K. AND - I had already stripped it down to bare metal on my own and there was no rust through or big dents ANYWHERE. Just your typical door dings etc.

But he did do fabulous body work and the paint isn't "show car" quality - but way above average. If you look down the side at an angle, it's straight as an arrow.

The graphics on the hood wasn't my idea, but the guy that painted the thing added them on his own. He tends to do that on all the rides he paints. -His script is nice enough, but I really would have preferred "Supercharged" instead of "Supercharger"..

EDIT: I actually would have liked "5.0 Litre HO" better on the hood for the sleeper effect
