Default Winter project!!
Repainting the whole car this winter, engine compartment and everything. The front and rear facias had some stress cracks in them so i bought brand new ones. Aerocatch hood latches, shaved body lines and shaved the camaro & keyhole on the back. The car will be going black again, it will be painted with sherwin william products, the color is deep black, its about as dark black as you can get.

I work at a small paint shop and my boss was nice enough to let me use the shop, So there was probably around $1000 in materials used.

looks good.. how hard do you think it'd be to mount the aerocatch pins flush with the hood? could you paint and clear them to match the color of the car a little better if you wanted?
