I will say, despite the fact that there are a million first gen Camaros out there, you always manage to make yours stand out from the crowd!

It is a ProSpray line called outrageous Paint. names Exstacy pearl it is a dry pearl mixed in with an intercoat clear. I did Bright white base and Brillant black stripes added 5 coats of the pearl then 4 coats of clear, sanded that down and added 5 more coats of the same pearl then 4 more coats of clear. It was alot of work but the customer had a look he was going for and we nailed it for him. He is super happy with it.
