Heres the '98 Camaro im doin up for my wife. Its only a V6, but these days thats a good thing. Especially since my wife is the one that will be driving it. The color is Tangerine Candy. I deceided to go with the stripes at the last second and think I made the right decision. So far Ive swapped out the shocks and struts and have added some lowering springs. The fuel pump and tank were both bad and im awaiting a donor as of now. Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks,

This is how I got it

Heres some pics of the bumper cover after paint...

 

should look pretty good once everything is done. What are you going to do about rims and such?

 

From only the front bumper, I really like that color! (why put in on the cement though?)
-Want to paint my car!!

 

Never been a huge fan of SOM, but wow that front end looks amazing. Can't wait to see pics of the completed paint job.

 

Well its not SOM, its Tangerine Candy. Believe me, in person you can see the difference. My camera is a POS.
As far as rims Im thinking of getting some chrome C6 wheels. But thats still up in the air. I like the look of gunmetal gray too.

 

Very nice color! Post some good pics once you get it done.

 

very awesome color choice

 

thats badass. always like to see people chosing non stock colors. looks killer

 

WOW.... Kick *** paint job! I wish I could paint that would save me SOOOOOOOO much money!!

 

are you doing the work yourself? that's some bad *** **** right there! how much did a gallon of that paint cost?! i KNOW it's expensive!!

 

nice progress, it's gonna look sick

 

That color is badass!

 

Can't wait to see it done, that's going to look insane.

 

That color is HOTT! The suspension setup looks nice from that small glimpse in the shop. I'm sure this car will turn out really nice. Looks like you pay attention to detail. That's what it's all about.

 

Very nice work. I'm normally into darker colors for an fbody (or any car for that matter) but that color really does look nice.

 

Add some of the Halo lights modified to have orange rings too maybe.

 

Thanks all positives responses. I was super happy with the way the color turned out on something bigger than a spray out. I chose to put the stripes on at the last second. And I'm glad I did. Nothing fancy, but enough to really set off the Tangerine candy.
Yes I do all mu own painting. Im a painter at a local body shop. The paint, being a candy, isnt really sold as a gallon. Ive got 2 quarts of "Sparkle Aluminum", a bottle of Tangerine candy dye,which is mixed with a clear basecoat. Then I clear on top of all that. Expensive? Depends I guess on if you are the painter or if you are the customer
I will be adding pics as I go. next up...doors, hood, rear bumper cover.
