Wow, this paint job has been another taxing adventure.
Looked good last night as the clear was drying, lots of dust nibs as you'd expect shooting in a shop but it's done.

| A good color sand and buff will take most if not all of them out. Lol every one thinks paint work is cheap till they try it themselves then they realize all the hidden costs to it I like the color though. What is it? Does it have allot gold flop to it? |

photobucket sucks, can't get back in at the moment.
It turned out great but we hired a guy to come spray it. I'm glad we did. My older son's high school friend is a professional spray man so he took mercy on us and bailed us out. Lots of dirt nibs but he laid hte clear on nice and thick. He said we should be able to polish it all out with copious amounts of elbow 'de grease.

yes that color looks very close
it's "supposed" to be Camaro synergy green but we had a quart can of that supplied by PO and it was a very different color so we bought some single stage urethane from an auto paint shop but it was different again, didn't like like, the guy who came to help us brought the paint, again "Camaro synergy green" and it was this, which we liked
