Re: ’68 Camaro
I shot the body with Dupont Le Mans blue last night and foiled all the trim this morning.

Re: ’68 Camaro
It looks really good! Can you tell me where you got the paint and how you applied the paint?
Thanks, Stu |

Re: ’68 Camaro
I got the blue from my brother, he just had a real car painted this color. I airbrushed it and sealed it with a thin coat of Matrix urethane.

Re: ’68 Camaro
I made the stripes and applied them. When fully dry I’ll cut the panel lines through.

Re: ’68 Camaro
I made and added the side marker lights and door & trunk locks. The stripe decals have been “fine-tuned”.

Re: ’68 Camaro
The final clear is done and once it cures I’ll cut, buff and wax it.

Re: ’68 Camaro
Well, it is a 4:1 ratio clear to activator.
I added at least 30% reducer, maybe 40%, to the two parts. I didn't measure the reducer, I just added it until I got the desired consistency. I also dropped the air pressure about 15-20% of usual, again I didn't look at the gauge, just went by feel. |

Re: ’68 Camaro
I may borrow that technique for modifying a hood or two. The rest of the progress is as fantastic as always!!

Re: ’68 Camaro
The glass fits very well on this kit. It’s getting close to being finished…

Re: ’68 Camaro
Looks amazing!
Where are the astro vents in the dash though? Looks like you used the '67 dash |

Re: ’68 Camaro
Thanks guys. Just about done with it...
The exhaust and door handles are installed. I made a standard gas cap to replace the SS style that came it the kit.  I replaced the side view mirror with the square style from a ’69 Camaro, (the kit came with a round one correct for ‘67).  |
