i just finished the clear tonight, hoping it dries correctly, it looks like it has a little rough texture to it, but the primer and base were smooth as glass

heres my z28 with the factory kit on it. i dont hate it, but i dont love it. i honestly dont care. i think it looks nice on the car. but i think if it didnt have the kit it would HAVE to have a different hood, either ss or some other sort.

cant wait to see how yours turns out!

Can't wait to see it. A buddy of min ehas a kit on his silver SS and it looks great. Plus gfx are the only way to go if you want tips on a camaro. I'm obviously a fan of gfx though as I have them on my car.
