My Bumble Bee front bowtie - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I finished my front Bumble Bee bowtie today, Looks pretty sweet, I think.
Its a little rough when you look at it real close, but it looks great otherwise.
I am by no means any sort of a strech of the imagination of a professional painter, so cut me some slack.
This will work great until some manufacturing company gets their heads out and makes some of these professionally.

Still working on the rear one, been having problems with the paint.

Just finished and installed my rear BB bow tie today. Looks pretty good.
With this bowtie, the chrome taillight rings removed, and tinted license plate cover, it looks pretty bad A.

I also painted the front SS chrome trim black, it now pops a lot more, and matches the front bowtie pretty good.

Look great !!!

Nice job !

Can you tell us how do you do to make this ?

Sorry ...but IMO it looks like it belongs on a 85 Celebrity Euro Sport. I think there is a part # for that.

Took a few more pics after a car show last week.
The more and more I see my car, the more I love the bow ties.
Very happy with them, if they're good enough for Bumble Bee, their good enough for my SS!

I have a BumbleBee, and Id have you do mine. I think you did a great job.

Don't know how I missed this thread. Looks great, thanks for the close-up as requested in the lower grill thread. I like what you did with the SS.

Well I got an idea what I want to do to my ss symbols. I want to make them black on the inside and crimson red on the edges where the chrome trim is... I know a painter should be able to do that pretty cheap, here in houston I am sure we have plenty. I am interested in also painting the bowties, but I will definetely keep your decals in mind.

Kyle2k · 10-05-2009, 12:05 PM

Are your taillights tinted as well?
