Finally got the car into the booth to be sprayed. Been about 8 months for this project to finally come about to where it is now, earlier pics and work is in this thread: My camaro makeover thread
13 coats of paint went on in about 5 hours last night, 1 coat of sealer, 6 coats of base, 4 coats of kandy and 2 coats of clear. The car is gonna sit and cure for a few days then we will sand down some of the clear so the airbrush guy can come in and do his thing.
After the final coat of base, with the body nice and laser straight
OMG:I just skeeted in my pants....WOW, that's gonna be gorgeous in the sun. I hate to ask, what would that run walk in off the street Joe?
probably 8-9K walk in, thats what the receipt is going to show for insurance purposes at least. I paid around $1,500 to $1,700 for sealer, base, kandy, and clear plus a few odds and ends for this job and that was at shop cost, not retail.

i want to airbrush some very subtle dark ghost flames, have the classic camaro emblems airbrushed on the fenders, beyond that I am not sure right now, I am going to sit down with the artist and see what ideas he has.

buddy drove the car home from the shop today back to his garage for the airbush artist do to his thing, swung my night job, took a few pics, not sunny this afternoon but a few outdoor pics anyway.
i love how the smoked tails look with the paint color
my poor baby got caught in the rain 2 miles from the garage
weather permitting will have daylight pics tommorow

Looks amazing but one question, why did you leave the side molding on and paint over it? Seems like since the car is so straight and they really do nothing to protect from door dings/nicks it is just pointless.
I mean anytime I got dings on the quarters it is always right above the molding and a few nicks on the doors are once again above the moldings.
7-9 grand seems a little extreme for one kandy with an off-base... my paint would cost about that much at the time it was done. probably closer to six now.
