Sweet Choice On The C.G.M. !! Silver would look better than black on that color IMO

I like how the black strips look on CG. Adding black wheels will make the black strips look better.

Got it all trimmed out and panels painted (except for the bumpers that are coming off).. put back together for the final spray. Can't wait to get her finished.

I am adding the silver 35th style stripes as well.

After that is putting all the interior back in including newly recovered leather seats and new carpet.

Can't wait to drive since it is now a 6 speed since the swap before the paint.

Here are some more pics of the progress...

Opinions are welcome

nice! can't wait to see how it comes out.

I see you painted the doors.
Did you also paint under the hood, deck lid and the bay?

I'm thinking about painting my vert also.
How much paint in gallons did you end up using?

I did paint everthing on the car except the bay. I left it flat black but as far as everything else (under the hood, jams, under the lid, etc) has been painted.

So far I have its gonna take me around 2 quarts. Really expensive paint but worth it.

Will be finished tomorrow... finally!

Still got the stripes on the bumper and a few adjustments here and there but I will be putting the new interior back in tomorrow.

Question... what do you think about the emblem choice? Camaro fill in choice?

(Thanks Roger @ emblem pros for the onxy black)
