Painted my Calibers today - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

If you go to the G2 site you can order a custom color like any of the Camaro colors. When I do mine I'm doing Bright yellow same as my car.

To OP. Don't know how warm it is down in your area but Its always better to wait until it gets warmer. Above 75 degrees for best results. If its too cold the paint will not smooth out and will look like orange peel. Just a heads up for next time.

Doesn't look too bad. Post another pic when its dry. : )

I did mine with g2, iom. Took two kits to get it right because they recommend spraying metallic paints and I guess we're heavy handed. But looks great.

I guess I should have, but the directions said between 60 and 75 degrees so I figured 65 would be cool, wrong lol. But I like it and I can always do it again. I will post more pics when it stops raining out here in jersey. Hetfield03 your's do look great. I thought about either yellow or red however I saw what a co-workers looked liked as he painted his red after a few weeks and chose black. Easier to keep clean.

Sand them with steel wool until smooth, clean with Acetone, wipe with paint prep/degreaser, 2 coats base color, add stickers, 2 coats clear.

Stewart · 05-18-2016, 07:58 AM

Thanks witenite, nickiscoolerthancool, spike III I like how they came out. Yes the paint "oranged peeled a bit but you can not tell standing and looking at them just when you zoom in lol. hesster thanks for the advice. I may do that if ever the decals fail.
