[QUOTE=Juicy J;13811375]Maybe he is a pimp. Am I the only one that has ever heard the saying, "green for the money, gold for the honey"?
But, the pimp thing to do is green paint and gold wheels. Nobody knows this?[/QUOTE
The Bishop?

I would too.
I have one. Just an IOM and not Synergy Green like the one in the above picture.
The interior lighting in the New Camaro's look sweet. I love the new independent rear suspension, seats are comfy...it's a completely different car. The Clutch is as described (pogo stick) it takes getting used to. I love my '02 and the '11 for completely different reasons.
Looks like the '69 color paint swatch. Owner of this car may know what he is doing. let it develop, I want to see the outcome as well.
I work about 2 blocks from this paint shop, maybe I should swing by during lunch and check it out in person.
HERE is a link to Gen III with the green/gold paint scheme. Looks pretty nice.
My grandmother had one like the one below.

The shop doesn't even look dirty, idk what everyone is bitching about, the only thing I see in the picture are some tires leaning up against the wall. It only takes 1 average car to completely **** up a clean shop. Now once you get into the rusty *** cars where you have to sandblast and what not, the amount of trash generated from that one car is just insane. It's impossible to keep the whole shop clean at once so we just do sections at a time.
I know y'all aren't going to believe this but the car actually looks really good, a completely different green than what I had in my head.

I dont know about the gold stipes, but the dark green is ten million times better than red. I think covering up red paint is the only reason to do a half assed paint job on a car, but I wouldnt even paint a $500 car without taking it apart and doing it right.

Like I said it's all in what the owner wants to pay. I talked to a few other shops and they said it's the right way or no way at all. Most people don't have money for that so if you want to stay in buisiness, you do what you gotta do. You can't tell anyways.

Unless the substandard repaint is put on the carfax report, there could be big problems. If the car gets sold and the second owner isnt informed that its a substandard repaint, then he can sue the shop and the cars former owner. Crap work like that gets other people scammed, thinking they bought a car with good paint.

Insurance companies report to the Car Fax.

Yes there is a 72 or something mustang in the prep bay along with my Camaro up front. The 2010 looks friggen amazing though, you can't even tell it was repainted. I looked everywhere and the only sign is the shock towers but they are being painted black. Should have been a factory color for sure.

Here is the car but it's really dusty and no light. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would like the car when I started this thread but I love it. It's done and ready to roll now, just need to lay the stripes on and that's it.
