After a repaint followed immediately by Demolition Dad, I got her back! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey all! So as some of you may know I had issues with my IBM's paint from the dealer. I have a thread on it if you haven't seen it. After I finally got her back from the paint shop for the last time, my Dad and his F-250 wreaked havoc on her and she had to have a new door, glass, mirror, etc....

So she was in the body shop at a large local dealer for a week-- during which time I removed the inset paneling from the door panels and dash, removed the fabric on the panels, prepped them, then asked the dealer to paint them aqua blue metallic and clear it. They did it for me while they were fixing the rest of the car...

And voila!

I'll take better pictures later, but the aqua blue interior with the aqua dome light looks amazing-- now all I have to do is wire in my aqua blue footwells!

So here she is, finally back with me, and after all the bad luck I know it's gonna be smooth sailing from now on

Tomorrow we go to Tulsa to race!

I'm going to get some better pictures in the daylight but these will do for now, I'm just glad to see her in my garage

I sure hope I don't have the same luck you do when I get my Camaro, seeing as how it's the exact same trim and color (exterior and interior) with the RS package.

Looks like brand new again and the panels look great.

RIPws6 · 10-22-2011, 04:58 AM

Caspers2SSRS · 10-22-2011, 07:43 AM

Nice finish to a rough beginning, the car looks great, hopefully it stays that way.................has your father taken his dose of ridicule & punishment well? lol

Nice - looks great!

Tigg · 10-22-2011, 08:32 AM

Looks awesome!!!! Glad everything turned out ok.......What kind of car is that anyway?.............

JUST KIDDING!!!!!!

BowtieBelle · 10-22-2011, 08:44 AM

LOL those were just taken at sunset with my iPhone, I'm gonna get some glamour shots today and post them in here

I think my dad got pretty much NO punishment for what he did since he wanted to blame me because of where I had parked... that, and my mom paid for it out of her inheritance which he let her keep separate from their money so she could shop with it

It's complicated. Anyway, he's in China, and I got my baby, so all is well! :party0048:

RubyCamaro · 10-22-2011, 08:53 AM

Great to hear you have her back with some nice upgrades. I'd love to do that to my interior too (except in RJT of course). Enjoy & best wishes for smooth sailing.
