Default I painted my Camaro.. 56K worth the wait :)

After long hours of sanding my life away, I prepped and painted the car the other day. It's House of Kolors Cinnamon Pearl, and will have Platinum Pearl stripes when I paint those on next week. All over a white basecoat. Pics of the front have been wetsanded, that's why there's no gloss. I think I did a great job never having painted a car before, it took me 10 hours but there arent any runs or bare spots. This car is so "arrest me orange," it's not even funny. Let me know what you think!
Enjoy.
Olly

thats awesome for your first car! can't wait to see the final product! I just sprayed my first whole vehicle last weekend. It was a truck and a basic white color, but it turned out perfect! But I got one of the best teachers in the world-me pops, who has 30+years of paint and body under his belt! That is one awesome selection of color, it just makes me want to go out and buy a 1st gen haha
