Well it's about time to paint my Z28, since I'm a poor college kid who details cars at a Hendrick dealership I have decided to do most of the work myself considering what sources I have available. My car has seen some rough times since I have owned it, It has been hit in numerous parking lots, suffered from "crows feet" in the hood and finally had the clear give out. The car will be painted with PPG products. Here are some pictures of the work that I have done over the last few weeks.
