Looks wicked! Only thing I don't like full black rims. IMO, black rims need a nice fat chrome lip.

Not too bad.

Here are a few before and after shots.

Did the painting of the front and the rear require the removal of the bumpers? The paint looks to be semi-gloss. Have any thoughts on painting it gloss black?

This car, and it is very nice, gives substance to my claim that Camaro is so easy to personalize. Within a year I doubt that there'll be any two that look completely alike.
They're as chameleons.

I noticed you changed the bowtie color. Did you paint this also or do you know where I can purchase a red one. I like this attention to detail. The closer I look at the car the more I see and like.

I was supposed to go for this look but i don't like the hood. Maybe if the hood is carbon fiber.

The paint is considered a matte finish. On this project, we did not consider going gloss. However, if the customer wants it, we can do it.

We did take the bumpers off the car. While you may get away with not taking them off, we always go the extra step and do it as clean as possible. Here are a few in progress shots to show you how we did it.

Thanks for the nice words. We did paint the bowties. We matched the red on the SS emblems, not the Victory Red. Slightly different color.

It is something of a large expanse. Maybe the paint could be texturized slightly. May require a few attempts to nail that down. Overall I think it is cool.
