[Taylor1969]

Here are some pics of my newly painted camaro. It is painted in 2008 GM Victory Red. It looks WAY more orange under these lights then it does in natural light.

Where did you decide to get it done? I am near Houston and will be in the market for a paint job next year. Also, what kind of wheels are those? Thanks.

[Code Red]

[rocketrod]

Nice!!!

[NvrDun71]

Looks Great!!! that was a quick turnaround...... Who did the work? and if you don't mind me asking how much did it run you? PM me if you need, Thanks-

[GM_muscle]

i got the same wheels and the car looks great.

[wblanton]

that is RED, hard to go wrong with red, black or silver on a 1st gen. For that matter Blue, green, orange, yellow,white... basically 1st gens rock just primer and drive...

[68/CamaroFL]

Very Nice Taylor!:cool:

[Gandalf]

Keep us posted.

Should I get him to do the tail pan around the lights in black?

[meenaggie]

I prefer color for the entire tail pan . . . I assume you would use flat black? Looks very nice.

[paulk68]

looks great. i think black around the tailighs would look kick ass.

[marinablueSS]

Flat Black Tail panel would be the ticket.... Very nice work.

[Taylor1969]

Thanks guys... I may go ahead with the blacked out tailpan on Friday... more updates to come.:)

[Gandalf]

I say paint that tail-panel black.

[Josh69]

What about gun-metal gray metallic for the tail? A tribute to the SS, but not as much contrast against the bright red. Something different, if you have an argent colored grille it would match.

Paint and car look awesome, are you planning on doing any stripes?

Great job. Just lookin at the pics, looks like it does not even need wet sanding and buff.
Good Luck!

Not yet... I may change my mind in a year or so - for now I am going without stripes.

Taylor That looks sweet Thats the color I decided to paint mine ( atleast this week) This is much cheaper for me than a rendering. Looks sweet!

I'll take some better pics on friday hopefully. He has buffed a couple of the panels and the interior is mostly painted. I think the doors should be hung and the hood should on by then. It may make your decision easier.

[jonnyc]

car looks awesome.i love those wheels.they look just like the ones i have.i've been going back and forth between red and blue for my 69 bird.after seeing those pics i'm leaning toward red right now.

[1968CamaroSS_Sam]

Looks great. Really nice color choice.

[Taylor1969]

We survived the hurricane!!! hopefully things will get back on track soon. The painter is going to be busy for some time because of hurricane damaged cars so it will take a little longer to get mine complete.

[WILWAXU]

Good to hear everything is alright.

I'm considering that color for my Nova.

[Motown 454]

Glad to hear everyone is alright . I'll watch for your next post

How come with the doors they don't hang them and paint the whole thing at once?

he wanted to do the jamming while painting the car so that there weren't any tape lines. He does solids this way because you don't have to worry about color matching issues.

very nice!
