Paint job question for the board - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Guys, I want to get a two tone paint job on my IBM camaro. I am thinking like below except the bottom would stay the IBM and the top would be a silver metalic seperated by a pin stripe ( dont know what color). How much would that cost? Anyone on here work in that industry? Seems like a pretty easy paint job since most of the car is already painted. What do you all think?

no one?

don't know what it would cost,but it would be awesome.some one posted a thread a couple days ago.they have a white and did the upper portion in black,with a orange stripe.that one was done with vinyl and it looked awesome.that would be a lot less expensive than paint.

My guess for someone that knows what they are doing is going to cost you about $5000. I know someone in the D/FW area that would do a great job for you but that would be a bit of a drive to get this done.

Yeah, i want it done right so i will drive to DFW if that is what it takes.

Like vinyl on the entire top of the car? I don't think that would work, i want a silver metalic that matches the Imperial blue metalic already on the car.

I've gotten a quote for a similar style paint job from a reputable shop in Louisana and it was $2500-$3000 to include removing all the necassary gaskets, trim, etc.

i checked out the website where the vinyl paint stuff came from... and it looks like they have others with "specs" in them... to maybe get that metallic sparkle look... i think he posted the website... should be http://flxpaint.com

yeah.. I would really like to see one up close too... i wonder if there is a big difference between that stuff and the stuff they advertise with by putting it on all the "Company" cars that are driving around... wonder if there is a big difference or if its basically the same stuff...
