new to the forum thing so i thought i would give it a shot.
I have a 1998 z28 camaro hard top found it here in vegas for 2500 . the paint when i bought it was horrible, they used a cheap paint and cheap clear coat. everything was peeling. i just decided to get it painted and it is still in the process of paint. i have done all the labor myself. they only thing i am not doing is painting it. so far it is looking really great. i am 18 and this car has sucked all the money out of me lol. will have pics up when it is completed. hopefully some of you are impressed lol seen some cars up here that are amazingly nice.

 

Good luck!

 

Welcome to the site. Definitely post pics when it's completed. As long as the prep work is done correctly, it will definitely show when you get some paint laid down.

 

subscribed.

 

welcome to the site and good luck with the car hope it turns out good for ya

 

I've got a soft spot for NBM Z28's, be sure to post up pics when you're done! Oh, and good find in Vegas. My cousin is from there and said he couldn't find a halfway decent V8 F-Body anywhere that didn't cost an arm and a leg.

 

well I decided to shave my key holes since I don't have a key lol I think this looks better anyways. Hopefully my remote doesn't brake or the batteries die lol and I can't get any pictures up yet cause I'm posting this on my phone but I will have pics up as soon as possible to show all of you where I am at.

 

finally i have new pics. sorry the quality is really bad i dont have a camera yet so these are with my phone

 

Like what I can see, do you have any better pics?

 

Not at the moment I'm waiting to get an actual camera. So all I have is cell phone pics. Again sorry for the poor quality. Will have pics up soon with an actual camera

 

Looks good from the pics. Man this makes me want to jump on paint first with my car and put off the suspension for now. My cars NBM too and the paint isnt perfect either. Sucks to have a different shade fender then the rest of the car or atleast it does for me.

 

Looking forward to pics!

 

I like it! will you paint mine next???

 

How much was it to paint if you dont mind me asking?

 

Thanks for the replys. I actually got a really good deal on it. I did all the prep Work and a friend of mine has a body shop so he had one of his workers paint it for me. But if I wouldve gotten it without a deal it would be around $3,000-3,500. With paint and labor. I did something diff with my car and I don't think it shows in the pics but my sail panels and roof are a semi gloss black instead of a high gloss black. Again I will have better pics soon these iPhones don't take good pics lol

 

Tell them to wet sand and buff it, lots of orange peel in the pic of the hood. It will look 100x better, but it does look great as it is.

 

We did wet sand and buff it. The pic your talking about was before the wet sand and buff. I did all the wet sanding. Was to scared to buff didn't want to burn my paint after all the hard work

 

I'm doing the same to my car, clear was peeling everywhere, that includes factory panels, though most had been repainted several times (door had 4 paint jobs). Those fiberglass and SMC panels were a pain in the *** to strip huh? I've still got 1 door and 1 fender to DA the clear off then it's all primer and block from there. No pics yet, don't wanna hijack your thread anyhow.

Don't blame you, hoods like that are difficult to buff, I've done a few jags with similar hoods.

 

looks good but it does need to be wet sanded and all that and also it need the 4x4 mod

 

again the car was wet sanded and buffed.
