Yeah I have a better camera I just wanted to get some quick shots of it. Where could I find 2000 grit? I have only seen 800 at Autozone, but then again it's Autozone... Thanks for the compliments guys.

Well the panel is done! I sanded it down with 800 grit (rubbed together to decrease grit) and sprayed it with some more black. After that I sprayed it with a couple coats of clear and let it dry. I am very pleased with how it turned out. I will post some pictures later on.

Ok guys here they are. Its hard to get a good judge on the gloss because of the lighting. Due to past requests I used a decent camera this time also.




Tomorrow I think I will try to get the Camaro cleaned up and install this. I cant wait

Hey thanks a lot guys. This took a lot of time and effort. I did end up repainting it a couple of times but I am finally happy with it. Today I will see how it looks on the Maro

Looks great. The tail panels on those cars look nice in black like that. The emblem is a nice nod back to the old days too.
