This spring (2004), I am also doing a complete paint job on Michael and Lisa'a Z. Notice that the paint is blotchy in the first pic above. This was due to poor polishing techniques that burned through the single stage paint. The new 2 stage Fathom Green will be spectacular! There were a few surprises under the old paint as you can see. These areas were all be correctly repaired with welded in patch pieces.  Then the car was block sanded and primed, and sealed with epoxy primer, then wet sanded with 800 grit before the base coat clear and clear coats were applied.

Notice yours truly in the last pic below. I'm getting a little booth time laying down the last 2 coats of clear on the cowl.

Once the dash and cowl were painted, we were ready to spray rest of the car. A quick wet scuff of the epoxy primer with some 800 grit, wax and grease remover wipedown, and once over with the tack cloth, we were ready to lay down the Fathom Green. Once the base coat flashed, we layed down 4 coats of Dupont 2400S clear coat so there would be plenty of material to color sand and plolish to a flat mirror finish.

Now that the paint is finished, it's time to lay down the stripes with Dupont Chroma One Single Stage Dover White

Now that the paint is completed, color sanded to 2000, and polished, it's back to Camaros Unlimited to finish up the project. The exterior of the car received newly polished stainless trim, new tail lights, new emblems, and rechromed GM bumpers.

After installing all the trim, the car came out beautiful.

Since the restoration was completed, Michael has entered 5 car shows and has taken First Place 4 out of the 5 shows, including a best of show trophy. Check it out below
