After the thanksgiving weekend its finally done. We tried to hurry and catch the sun but it got late on us. It was a pretty long process with the the ground coat (bright silver) then the kandy over it and also the stripe and black panels.. It was fun doin a Kandy camaro. Hope you guys like!!!

the paint looks good, but around the headlight buckets it looks bad the line between the black and orange is off alittle so you can notice it

Looks great, very well done. Needs wheels though.
