Got any pictures of what it looks like at the moment(the car that is)?

I've always wanted one of the bright green metallic camaros. Same thing with a MBM camaro/trans am. Same thing with that electric green color the 99 mustangs/cobras came in(I think that was the right year).

Doing it yourself? PREP Work is Key!

I am painting a 77 ford pick up right know. I am a avg. Guy and bought a old huge paint both. It has 8 ft on each side of the truck. I has a fan with a filter to suck air in and a fan that blows air out with a filter. Then clean your gun good each time and make sure you have no water in your air tank. The truck is coming out great. Prep and dont sand real hard and dont put to much on each coat.

you can do Dimension Pro or ultra 7000 from Sherwin Williams.the Dimension Pro Excellent metallic control
Fast flash times
Applies similar to National Rule base coat
Applies smooth and flat.
from my experience the only bad part is it takes little more to get good coverage then ultra 7000.but Dimension Pro is HALF PRICE then Ultra 7000.
on the other hand the ultra 7000 has

Excellent coverage with minimal coats.
Best in class application properties.
Superior color match and blending.
OEM Approvals.
Quick flash time between coat..
and to get the top quality refinish, it's all in the prep work.
good luck

I personally recommend PPG, S-W auto finishes suck IMO. PPG is my first choice, for custom it would be a toss up between PPG and HOK.
