Message One of my good friends has a full body shop at his house that he uses to restore '67-'69 cameros and gave me full access to it... We bought my wifes Z last november and has been my project car (besides my TT engine build) The body was in pretty good shape but the paint was bad and the front had been hit and needed some attention...

Me DA'ing the car

Test fitting my N/A fascia for its new home

In the spray booth

Masked, degreased, and tac ragged... Ready for paint

Base coat

Clear coat

Done...

The whole process took me about 5 nights after work and 2 full days (my days off). Paint and supplys $450.00. I did shoot the front fascia off the car with flexi agent added but left the rear bumper cover on. If she backs into something or damages the rear cover I will take it off and shoot it again with flexi agent added. This was my first time using 2 stage paint and my first complete car paint job, now..... Im still looking for a complete 2+2 charcoal, blue, or black interior for the car to do a complete interior color swap and then back to my TT motor......
