New pic of the camaro

[iMaMoN5Ta]

Currently reconstructing my camaro. Repainting it to a jet black color. Right now it has been sanded and body filled. I only had a quart of primer but by the end of the week I'll have it covered in primer then will be ready for paint, should have it done by next week.

man that looks like crap. at least take the time to tape things up, fix the body flaws before you start painting. take your time with it and itll come out half decent.

[iMaMoN5Ta]

Yeah I do admit it does look horrible. I'm fixing it up I am going to be sanding it out again then laying another primer over it. Only just started doing it 2 days ago.

[NastyEllEssWon]

you need to sand that car all the way down, fill in the little dents with a little bit of filler, sand it down again, prime it, sand it, prime it, sand it, paint, sand repeat.

[maroman88]

atleast replace the broken ground effects piece, that style is pretty cheap and there not hard to replace

[btownws6]

also dnt use spray paint if you are only gunna use it try to find the wider spray tips and stay even it'll come out nicer i remeber i did my old camaro with spray paint and we got one of those gun triggers for it from wal mart for like 2 bucks it worked great

[NastyEllEssWon]

those spray gun triggers do work very well. :nod:

[jts98z28]

i would definately tape up a lot better than that, and is that spray paint?

[Featherburner]

Try this.

[GrandmasterCow]

i would definately tape up a lot better than that, and is that spray paint?

nope, its through a paint gun, not sure what tip he's using.

how far have you gotten since i seen it the other day?

thats NOT spraypaint?????

[Mike]

thats NOT spraypaint?????

no, but his air pressure is wrong and it seems like he is spraying to close to the car...

[iMaMoN5Ta]

I fixed it up, I resprayed it with grey primer after I took off the black primer. I got Carbon Black Metallic Paint finishing it all up tomorrow and have pics up.. it'll look better than the last picture I left you guys off with haha.

[Mark42]

When you paint it, remember to remove the license plates, tail lights, and tape up anything else you don't want paint on (like mirrors and glass). Cleaning the primer off those tail lights is going to mess up the lenses.

Also note that the rusted spots that were sprayed over will probably turn to rust again in a few weeks. So take the time to sand, and apply some filler. Like the spot over the passenger rear wheel. Sand the paint drips and runs out too.

Do you know anyone with any body work experience that can help you out or give a few pointers?

[iMaMoN5Ta]

My girlfriends neighbor does autobody. He gave me some tips but that was it..I'm sending it over to his house to finish it up. yeah I completely forgot the license plate but I'm going to be cleaning everything up, I ended up getting primer on the windows a bit kind of upset about it but it comes off pretty easy.

[jts98z28]

alot better than the other pics lol

[NastyEllEssWon]

not much better. you need to sand that **** man

[Tru2Chevy]

And why not fix that GXF piece? Those are the easiest /cheapest 3rd gen GFX to find, get a replacement on there before you go any further.

[iMaMoN5Ta]

I am, there's one in a junkyard near my house that has one and it's already black so won't have to repaint it, just got to grab it when I get the chance.

Putting it on now and painting it with the rest of the car is the only way to guarantee a match. That piece in the yard has likely been out in the sun for ~20 years....it's gonna be faded next to fresh black paint.

plus there are several different versions of black...

[NastyEllEssWon]

you couldnt take 15 minutes to take the accessories off the car before you painted either??? really man...this is the reason thirdgens get bad reps

[deadtrend1]

I just got to ask ... is this for real? You're just not screwing around since you were selling/getting rid of the car right?

[iMaMoN5Ta]

I'm not selling it. I don't plan on keeping this paint on for long at all. I just figured it'd give me something to do for the 2 weeks I was away from home. It's getting replaced I just wanted to have a project for myself and realize I can't do autobody. Lots of parts on it need to be replaced so it'll all be stripped down to primer and repainted when I get the new parts in and re-done by someone who knows how to do it well.

[btownws6]

damn looks better but i feel bad for whoever has to repaint this after
